January 10, 2020, marked a significant day for three young boys from Baringo, whose dancing skills had gone viral in 2019. Kevin Lekimariki, Andrea Lenapir, and Lepasiron Lekachuma have received an education sponsorship to join Little Lambs School in Nyahururu.
According to Linda Chepkwony, who shared photos of the schoolboys in their school uniforms, the trio is now a part of the school community.
"The best news of the year, finally the #baringotrio got an education sponsorship to little lambs school in nyahururu.,thanks to @CemasteaKenya," Linda Chepkwony tweeted.
Jeff Koinange and his team, including Rashid Abdullah and Prof Hamo, had visited the boys in December last year, bringing gifts such as foodstuffs, shoes, mattresses, and other items for the boys and their families.
The three boys, who are known for their dancing skills, rose to prominence after performing at a secondary school prayer day for examination candidates. However, they were not aware that someone among the guests was recording their performance.
A paybill number was set up, and Kenyans responded in huge numbers, ultimately leading to the education sponsorship for the trio.
