It was a good day at school, as Kisii High School welcomed a new student who was unsure whether he would be able to join the school of his dreams because he couldn’t afford the fees required.
This was made reality and possible by the principal, Fred Mogaka, and his deputy, Henry Mosioma, who went out of their way to find him and offer him a Form One slot for free.
The boy had missed school because his father had died and his mother was very ill, leaving him unable to pay for his education .
The student who comes from Oganda Primary School was selected to attend Kisii School but did not report because his mother is ill and he does not have a father to pay his school fees.
The principal Mr.Mogaka and Mosioma his deputy tracked him down and accepted him into Form One at their school.
Philanthropist Wanja Mwaura was among those who praised Kisii High School principal Fred Mogaka and his deputy Henry Mosioma on social media.
The praise was given because the two tutors travelled to the village to pick the student who had scored 379 points in the Kenya Certificate of Primary School but had yet to begin Form One
Wanja expressed her admiration for the educator, saying she has interacted with him several times and can attest to his enthusiasm for his work.
“His passion for his students is so great. Kenya needs such passionate principals. I thank God for this great man,” she said.
Wanja went on to say that what the two administrators did exemplifies the true meaning of being your brother’s keeper.
“I must admit the few times I have interacted with this principal, I can tell u for a fact he is so passionate with what he does. The way he conducts kisii school is on another level.” He said.
Elsewhere, Lawrence Murimi finally enrolled in Kangaru High School a day after being rejected along with his mother.
The poor mother and her son had brought a rooster to school in the hopes that the administration would accept it because they did not have school fees.
Fortunately, the young lad’s story went viral, touching the hearts of well-wishers who rallied to his aid and raised enough money to cover the fees and all expenses.
