BY MWINGI TIMES REPORTER
Mwingi Boy who topped
his school with 373 marks in last year’s K.C.P.E and was selected to join
Kenyatta High School, a National school in Mwatate-Taita is still desperately
at home helping his family in household chores after his family failed to raise
money to pay for his school fees or even report to the school.
John Kimanzi Sammy has
been left at the mercy of well-wishers and good Samaritans to enable him pursue
his dream of one day becoming an accountant, as his parents have already given
up and admitted that they won’t be able to raise the required fee due to
poverty.

According to John
Kimanzi who schooled at Thitha Primary school, a public school in Mwingi
central sub-county, he put a lot of efforts in order to ensure that one day he
achieves his dream of one day becoming an accountant. However his dream seems
to have been shuttered by abject poverty affecting their family alongside a
strange disease which has struck his father.
Kimanzi is appealing to
good Samaritans and well-wishers to come to his rescue, promising to work hard
in school so as to realize his lifetime dream.
His father Sammy Mwaniki
on the other hand said that currently he is totally incapacitated and can do
nothing to take the boy to the school, as he has been suffering from an illness
which has drained all the family finances.
The father of nine said
that he has six other children in school, one in university, another one in
secondary school and the rest in primary school.
He has appealed to
anyone willing to help his son not hesitate, as the family has
exhausted all resources in catering for the medication of the father.
