95-Year-Old Kenyan Woman Enrolls In School To Learn To Read And Write by mediaNGR(op): 7:01am On Dec 03, 2018
A Kenyan woman believed to be 95 years old has made news headlines after she was photographed in school wearing a school uniform.

Chebelina Mukomuga estimates that she was born in 1923, according to Wanjiku Kinuthia, the Communication Officer at Lewa Wildlife, Kenya.

Chebelina registered for adult education with a number of other elderly Kenyan women but she's the oldest in her class and seems keen to learn, not minding her age.

You and me both know she won't be able to read and write until she join her ancestors.


Old age make us do silly things and younger age made us do more silly and dumb things...
Weird life patterns.

She botched the second equation but if I'm the teacher, I'll score her 2/2 for effort.

There is something about dying fulfilled. Its not in what she stands to use the reading and writing for, but in dying peacefully knowing that she achieved something that meant alot to her. The latter days of a man's life is usually full of regrets. Pursue your goals and fulfill your dreams. Climb the Hills and chase your Stars. In so doing, dying will come with a smile.

This is futile.

Any one praising this is just being unrealistic.

In saner climes such a woman would be resting with her great-grandchildren. Not wasting time acquiring what you have no need for.

Africa is just different.
