About Me

my name is Silas born in a family of six kids.my father was a social worker and my mom is a business lady. we grew up in a religious setup where my parents emphasized on good moral and social values.we were not rich hence we learned to appreciate the little we were given.i started schooling when i was 4years at crater academy later joined the same school for primary education.life was hard then i used to stay the whole day at school without food because my parents did not have enough money for my lunch.hence i could improvise when in the evening luck struck and were able to have food on the table.i used to eat half and keep half to take to school for lunch the following day.hence i learned the value and importance of saving from a tender age afterwards i joined Menengai high school for my O-level education .my hobbies is singing and hiking also visiting new places.i like teaching little kids in the community .i started my business when i saw high demand for fresh fruits and vegetables with very little capital .i was able to grow and increase my capital base within a very short time frame.am looking forward to increase and expand my business by introducing cereals for human consumption..whats unique about my town is the land scape where we are surrounded by by mountains on both ends.Lake Nakuru National Park famous for its flamingos,Hyrax museum and Menengai crater are some of the geographical features of our county
