Global teacher of the year Peter Tabichi says US President Donald Trump on Monday listened to him carefully in the few minutes they met.
Brother Tabichi held discussions with Trump at White House, with the role of science and education dominating their meeting in Washington DC.
According to him, the US president was interested in the submissions, a gesture that now assures him that Washington DC will be interested in investing in education sciences within Africa.
"To me it was a great honour and privilege to meet US President Trump. I took that opportunity to share with him on where I teach, how I teach and challenges we encounter. I appreciated him over his role in promoting science and education.
"I can say that he was so happy, he listened to me carefully. I believe that there is light at the end of the tunnel that he's going to support science and education in his agenda," he said.
Mr Tabichi will this week become the first professional to address United Nations general assembly in New York. Leaders from Nyamira have hailed his achievements.
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.
