Kimani Maruge

by Teresia from Kikuyu, Kenya

Long live my hero!

My hero's name is called Kimani Maruge. He's a Kenyan aged 90 years. He's the world's oldest pupil, having joined class one at the age of 84, six years ago. He believes education is the best form of freedom as it enables one to read and write and therefore is free to carry out any transaction and communicate with the rest of the world. Long live my hero!
