Am not sure how to title this post because it has just happened and am wondering how to explain it. I was sited at SAS and this young man walks in. He has some speech impairment but is determined to express himself.
He introduces himself as Antony and requests for a seat. I ask my sister to give him a sit and he starts explaining about himself. He is stammering a lot at the beginning but I ask him to relax and slowly he is able to express himself. He says he is a freelance journalist and I am immediately impressed. He says he is advocating for children with disabilities to go to school and not be discriminated like he was. Am so impressed because he is very serious and passionate about what he is doing and am touched because he would justifiably sit at home and complain about his problems.
But instead he has come from Thika as he told me and is eager to get sponsors for a documentary they want to do for children with disabilities. As he is talking he hears the rain and gets worried. All in all, there is a media office in our building and I take him there just to see what they can do. He leaves me with a copy of his document and contacts and I wish him well.
As we part ways, he holds my shoulder and says "God bless you" and I am so touched.
Am happy for that young man who has refused to stay in a position that could easily be acceptable because of his disability but instead he is bold and is working for the good of others. Isn't that amazing?
