Celebrated Kenyan teacher Peter Tabichi on Monday was privileged to meet US President Donald Trump at White House in Washington DC.
Mr Tabichi won best global teacher award early this year in a ceremony held at United Arab Emirates in Dubai. He was given Sh100 million following the victory.
At White House, the Franciscan priest, who has been in Los Angeles, took photos with the controversial president in his priesthood garments.
Details about their meeting is yet to be released. Last week, Tabichi met retired South Africa President Thabo Mbeki where they discussed about children welfare.
This month, Tabichi will become the first professional to address the United Nations general assembly in New York City. No professional has been invited to speak before.
Woman Representative Jerusha Momanyi on Sunday said Tabichi's achievements are worth to emulate, adding that he has out Nyamira in the global map.
"When you do the right thing, good things come afterwards. He has out Nyamira in the global map and we are thankful for the latest recognition," she said.
At an event in Kerora, Kemera MCA George Morara hailed Tabichi as a global citizen whose commitment to change lives of children and other people remains in his heart.
"I am thrilled to hear about his progress. He comes from this ward but he's now a global citizen. We shall continue giving him support as leaders," he added.
Tabichi, a Maths and Physics teacher in Keriko secondary, won Sh100 million early this year. He vowed to use part of the money to help vulnerable children.
At Nyamira, Governor Nyagarama received him before holding a homecoming party for him at Mokorongosi village in Kemera ward.
