Many will consider meeting US President Donald Trump a lifetime achievement.
This is the case for Teacher Peter Tabichi, the 2019 Global Teacher Award winner, who will go down memory lane as one of the Kenyans to have met Trump at the White House in Washington DC.
The physics and mathematics teacher at Keriko Secondary School in Nakuru County met Trump on Monday in what he said was a laughter-filled 15-minute event.
“He looked so much at ease. We talked, laughed and took several pictures. I appreciated his support on education and technology more so partnerships that have boosted education in African countries,” teacher Tabichi said as quoted by the Standard.
“He told me he was very happy and that I was the only global teacher winner he has met. He did not ask many questions but asked how Africa and Kenya were doing. All looked like a dream. It was the best moment, a special day too," he added.
In March this year, Peter Tabichi was awarded Sh100 million after being announced the winner of the Global Teacher Prize for 2019. He was awarded due to what organisers termed as his dedication, hard work and passionate belief in his students' talents.
