On Friday afternoon, Yusuf reported Kapsabet Boys where he was warmly welcomed by principal Kipchuba Maiyo and other boys. An overwhelmed Aker said he could not believe what he saw during the 350km journey from his village in Tangulbei to Kapsabet Boys. He got an admission letter to join Kapsabet Boys but couldn't join because he had no one to pay his fees. The boy was orphaned at the age of four in July 2008 after cattle rustlers raided their manyatta in Lokodi village, Tiaty East. Kapsabet Boys principal Maiyo paid Yusuf's school fees and promised he would settle the annual Sh53,000 fees for four years.
