"I started to learn carving in 1999, and in 2002 I started working on my own. I was able to save out of my work to produce more works. I had a very large customer base because of the uniqueness of my works. Even though I still had the passion to go to school, I couldn't because I needed to use the money I acquired to help my younger siblings through school. I wanted them to have a brighter future. One of them is currently a teacher.
"I later decided to settle down and get married. Now we have two children who are in school and doing well.
"I have taught four men to carve. Also, I teach carving to students in the second cycle institution. I usually produce home decor accessories in wood. I hope to become known to the international community.”
