About Me
My names are Felix Oduor.I am a christian,young and living single.I live in Elburgon where i do my business.After some years of struggle with a single mother,i was lucky to get a well wisher to take me to college where i studied certificate in clothing.After that i decided to open my tailoring shop after working for someone for two years.
I now run my own business.From this business i am able to support myself and also pay for my two younger sisters school fees.This is because i have so many customers who believes in my work.
What i cannot forgate in my life is my life twelves years ago when i droped out of school for one year when my mother was ill.At the age of 11 years i had to support her together with my little sister.This is how we earn a living by then.Someone employed me to take care of his cattle where i was paid ksh 10 per day.Because that was not enough i had to wake up at 5am,go and pick maize and irice potatoes in a nearby market Kibuye so that we can have ugali and potatoe on the table before i could take the cattle for gracing.I did this for one till my mum got for one year before i went back to school again..........
But look at me today!God delivered us from that kind of life,i have a business and skill that i am now able to support myself,my mother and my sisters.I love this business.
