Sarah Wanjiru caught the attention of a renowned pastor ordained to a bishop's office.

Wanjiru, who wrote and recited a heartwarming poem about Ben Kiengei and his church, was asked to greet the congregation and recite the poem she wrote days ago.

The poem, written in Kikuyu language, moved the congregants who had gathered for a Sunday service.

What's Sarah Wanjiru's mum's name?

Wanjiru was accompanied by her mother, Ann, who could not help but cry as her daughter showed off her talent.

After finishing the poem, the beautiful Wanjiru, a Grade 6 pupil, gave the man of God an envelope with a cash gift.

"I promise to educate you until you finish primary and join high school, and after that, this ministry will be waiting to pay for your university," Kiengei disclosed as the congregation applauded him.

The young girl and her mother were financially blessed by the kind-hearted congregants who supported them.

What does Wanjiru's mum do for living?

Wanjiru's mum revealed she had a salon, which was her primary source of income to feed her family.

A few believers offered to buy her salon items, get her a new place for her business, and support it.

She was in tears as she received a bundle of notes from the compassionate people who expressed the love of Christ in their giving.

They also blessed the young girl with money in appreciation of the excellent work she did with her admirable talent.

Which school did Princess Angel join?

In a similar story, Princess Angel, a heavyweight lawyer in the making according to DP Rigathi Gachagua, finally joined Utawala Academy.

The young girl impressed Gachagua and President William Ruto during the Annual Akorino National Prayer Conference in Nakuru county.

After the conference, the girl and her mother were invited to Gachagua's residence, where she was given a scholarship to the posh Nairobi school.
