A
MAN ON A MISSION :
Born Zackary Kimotho in kigumo division
Muranga county back in 1968, zack attended Karinga primary school and from
onset he was poised for academic achievement, coming top of his class during
exams.
He went for his ordinary level education at Nyeri High
school . His star was shining from the onset and
in 1988, after his 0-levels, he was accepted in Nakuru High School
for his A- levels (advanced level). As mandatory, Zack joined the National
Youth service in 1988 to give back to the society in service.
Then January 4th 1994 and zack graduated from
the University of
Nairobi attaining a
Bachelor of veterinary medicine.
The year 2000 saw him marry the love of
life-Doris wawira, with whom a year later God opened her womb and they were
blessed with a bouncing bay boy Daniel.
The same year 2003, zack lost his wife and
his job too. And in 2004, while in the nairobi-nakuru highway junction, an armed
man approached Zack's car and rudely in Swahili piped,"Kwani huoni ni nini
nimebeba?" (Can’t you see what I am carrying?)
The man had a gun and at close range opened
fire calling zack "stupid”.
Now zack is on a mission only he himself can
accomplish. Zack is heading to South
Africa on a wheelchair because that's where
the nearest spinal cord injury rehabilitation centre is located. even as many
hope that Kenyans will unite in their donations and quest to raise Ksh 250
million to build a facility here and
hence bring Zack home.
The journey to South Africa on a wheelchair is
tiresome. We need to bring Zack home before he gets to South Africa on a wheelchair.
That's the appeal.
