About Me

I went to Bondo town to search for jobs, i got series of jobs earn a living and i am working until to date.I got married in january 2015 and Mighty God blessed me with a baby girl. She is still very young and cannot make her future decision on her carrier. In our Rongo,we usually receive adequate rainfall which is good for farming, cattle keeping, business and we also experience cool breeze from Kisii highlands.During my free time, I like reading bible, magazines, watching football premier leagues of various countries .

In carpentry and joinery, I mostly get some joinery contracts like fittings,roofs construction form works,repairs of various building structures. With this, it helps me earn a living, support my work,cater for family needs.After completion of most jobs,I remain with some money which really help me to purchase food for the family, buy clothes, pay school fees for my brother and sister who are still going to school, cater for transport to and from work sites,pay also other bills. This works pays nicely,easier than other tiresome activities.
