Every other day, there are moments when we just feel like giving up on the world and all the bad things that happen, but every once in a while we witness an act of kindness so random that faith in humanity is restored.
One such story that deserves to be told has been happening in Nairobi. Better yet, it is by a matatu driver and his tout who have been trying to make the world a better place for the disabled.
The story was brought to light by the Chairperson of National Council for Persons with Disabilities(NCPWD), Dr. David Ole Sankok through Facebook.
He posted: "A story that deserves to be told does not forgive silence....
As the chairman of NCPWD one of the major challenges facing my significant constituent is public transport. We have lobbied, we have complained and we have scratched our heads due to this headache.But at this point I wish to congratulate this driver and his conductor who work in Nairobi town -Kinoo.Every single day they go to Westlands ,ABC place to pick staff with disabilities from their places of work and drive them to their homes at normal bus fare rates. This saves them the agony of crossing the busy Waiyaki way and also saves them the hassle of bus drivers leaving them stranded at bus stops.It is great compassion and humanity. I wish to request for more champions who are in the matatu industry who will support our journey in accessing public transport."
