My name is Barro Lanssina and I was born and raised in Bobo-Dioulasso. I went to school there and after I graduated from primary school, I went to high school in the city of Accart up to eighth grade. I am single and I have a son who is now eight years old. I come from a polygamous family of which I am the second-last son and there are eight of us in total. I live in Accart, sector 9, and I've been working as a carpenter and cabinet maker for more than seven years.
Carpentry is a trade that gives a person a good living, and that's why I chose it. Thanks to this work I can meet not only my basic needs but also meet the expenses of myself and my small family. My business consists of working with wood to turn it into furniture for my clients. For example, to make a stove, I buy a sheet of twenty millimeters thick and a half sheet of five millimeters thick for nineteen thousand CFA francs, and I buy the varnish and the nails for a thousand francs, and once I finish I resell it for thirty thousand francs to make a profit of ten thousand francs.
Mon activité consiste à travailler le bois et le transformer en meubles pour les clients.Par exemple pour un garde à manger (cuisinière), je paye une feuille de vingt milimètres et une demi feuille de cinq mm à dix neuf mille Franc CFA et j'achète du vernis et des pointes à milles Franc et je revend une fois terminer à trente milles Franc pouvant faire un bénéfice de dix milles Francs.Je pourrai payer du bois et les accessoires pour la confection de plusieurs meubles et revendre aux clients.
