From Studying Biosytems Engineering To Begging In The Streets And Radio

Life is quite a challenge and at times a peaceful sailing boat can be quite rocked in the most unexpected of manners. Such is the sad story of the brilliant mind, Simon Nyakundi a former Upper Hill student and student of the University of Nairobi studying Biosystems Engineering.

Family land disputes over land almost killed him and led to his dropping out of school and into the life on the streets. Usually, this would be the end of the story but lucky for him, he met a former schoolmate Shamsudin Abdi who on the third occasion decided to share his story.

The Facebook post was shared and the Upper hill UON and strangers took up action organized a meeting and subsequently helped the young man get a makeover.

The group has since then set up a paybill account and made plans to get him a job or to school and there have been numerous offers. Here is the picture of the reformed new guy.
