This is the story of a passionate daughter and determined mother. Abilasha, a keen eight year old pupil at Bombolulu asked her mother that she wanted to recite a poem to the Deputy President.
Her single mother, Mary Wambui, an Uber driver in Mombasa, was to figure out how that was to happen. Meanwhile, her taxi hustle ran into trouble, but determined, she made an attempt with her daughter to present the poem at St James Cathedral Church, Kiambu, which did not succeed
Determined and undettered they made another shot, travelling eight hours from Mombasa. Mother and daughter arrived in Kandara, Muranga County, waited for six hours while negotiating the program to allow little Muthoni to recite her piece to me.
Immediately after the recital, she put her case to the me about her aspirations and goals and the impediment on her way. Abilasha and her mother, Mary, did not allow circumstances to determine their future. They believed in themsleves.
Determined and resilient, today they got a car to be used as a taxi. Her own this time; not as a driver and Abilasha assured of education. That is the Kenyan spirit.
