Awww: 90-year-old Priscilla Sitienei is in primary school with 6 of her great-grand-kids!

                                          

A Kenyan rural midwife with 65 years' experience, has returned to primary school along with six of her great-great-grandchildren.


Priscilla Sitienei, 90, fondly known as Gogo (which means grandmother in their local language),  is arguably the oldest primary school pupil in the world. She enrolled at Leaders Vision Preparatory School in the Rift Valley village of Ndalat five years ago, with the hope of finally learning to read and write.

Mrs Sitienei grew up under British colonial masters and never had the chance to go to school, but now she wants to be able to read the Bible, pass on her midwifery skills and write down the herbal remedies she uses in childbirths. She also hopes to inspire those younger than her – including her own classmates, aged between 10 and 14, some of whom she delivered as babies.

How sweet!
