Dancer Litboy Helps Needy Tharaka Nithi Student Who Put Stones, Grass in Empty Lunch Box
How did teacher discover empty lunch box? The influencer visited the school and offered assistance after Jeremy’s case was highlighted on social media. Speaking to TUKO.co.ke the Grade Six student’s teacher Kagendo said that the boy was from a single parent home and faced many challenges. “He has a brother in Grade 8 and they are very bright. I realised they had a problem after skipping school and I learned that mother drinks a lot.” According to the teacher, the boys were forced to sleep in culverts at some point, forcing her to summon the mother and talk to her. Kagendo said that students usually carry packed lunch but she noticed something was amiss with Jeremy. “I could tell he was hungry and decided to inspect his lunch box. That is when I discovered he had placed grass and stones so it could appear he had food.” Kagendo, a counsellor, took on the role of a mother and provides food for the brothers. “When you help one other students also come to you. It's not been easy. I am supporting 60 students. I helped some join secondary and another is joining university.” The teacher, posted to the area in 2013, said she asks for clothes, mattresses and bedding donations for the children she supports, “I want them to feel they have someone who cares about them. You can reach me on +254707486954." Litboy praised Kagendo for her selflessness and called on influencers to give back. “When you are famous you have a purpose. You cannot have a purpose and not help people because you can’t entertain people laugh while they are suffering. Let your actions speak for themselves. Let us unite and do something in society because we need each other.” How did Litboy surprise Narok teacher?
