About Me

i am girl aged 26 yrs.i took my nursery and primary education in a nearby school called mwangutwa primary.during my primary course,the life was so nasty since there were children behind who required more attention.we always had problems with food while i was in primary since my parents had no stable job.we use to wait for my father to get some palm wine sell thus we can get our daily bread.mum too used to make some swiping brooms to sell.when the business was bad we could go without lunch.these left me always weak in class.now i came to realise the importance of palm trees.so after classes i used to find palm seedlings to add to my fathers farm.these helped as later e.g they helped us with timber and even to sell them to neighbors.these palm plants have no difficulties to adopt,the climate rely does well with these plant.the soil is sandy where by the palm tree like very much sandy soil.after my drop out i had to get some house girl job to raise my standard of living.i saved as little as five hundred in a month.with my little savings i got a boost from my cousin to start off my shoes business.i would like my children to get to higher classes more than i did.thus why i would like to work hard to achieve my better goal.i like dancing,watching movies,and doing some adventure.

My Business
