Love Found Me, by Sang Kibet Gerson
Sang Kibet Gerson is a student at Mogonjet Secondary School in Bomet County, Kenya. He takes his studies very seriously and works hard for his grades. Coming from a family of two brothers and three sisters, he is aware of the sacrifices his parents, grandmother (now deceased), and uncle have made to keep him and his siblings in school. Their group effort worked from one belief: an education can end their poverty.
