KINGS AND QUEENS WITH A LEGACY
THE LEGACY OF A THOUSAND WORDS.
It's a well off society, built with strong pillars in community
backgrounds, beliefs and customs as well.
I have a story to tell, touching to be precise with a taste
of compassion for the less fortunate in society..
I'm talking about those with
disability; the cripple with no hand or legs to be precise.
With the advancement in technology, prices for medicare and
equipment to support their day today live leaving them helpless and with
nowhere to go, no occupation to support their families, no livelihood to be
accurate.

This story begins in a rather unexpected place, we say we
need full grown scientists to innovate new ideas on medical care, they say,
"WE FOUND THE SOLUTION".
A witness with belonging, a strong task to hold as a 16 year
old scholar.
Well, I call them scholars because whatever they stand for is
stronger than a nutty professor with the theory of creating a clone to Frankenstein
the horror story.
Young teenagers mentored by one ambitious and innovative
stud.
Or do we say Dr., Eng., Prof, and all those pretty cool initials that you
might be thinking of right now. I know you might be wondering of who I'm talking
about. Yes.
Say hello to the kingpins of a project worth a thousand
words, treasures not only come in big expensive prices but also the tiniest of
whatever impact you place to someones life.
Nadia Ahmed Lackhan and Aryan
Panchamatia, two 16year old youngsters from D.H.T Kisumu Senior Academy
have taken the lakeside legacy to a whole new level with the help of their
supervisor Mr./Dr.Calvine Sundys Oruko.
A project directed to hand challenged individuals was
displayed at the Young Scientists Kenya-2018 Exhibition at the Kenya International Conference Centre KICC on
Thursday 5th-Friday 6th July and i had the opportunity to witness their amazing
intelligence.
Their research showed that most handicap equipment costs for
around $750 while all they had invented costed for just Ksh.2500. You're
wondering what it might be right?..
Yes.. An AC and Solar charged mouse is installed into the normal slippers you wear
or any type of shoe wear you put on.
And guess what, that's not all, a voice
input device is installed to make sure that one can also speak out a statement
on what you are typing about and (ching!!) it automatically appears on your word pad.
So let's leave the ignorance back and look at the bigger
picture here, who says the handicapp can't get employed, live normal lives just
like normal people do,operate devices as spectacularly clear as any being would?
None of us had the solution to justify our means.
But these two young intelligent
scientists had the solution and means to end deprivation in society, degradation
of the handicapp, mistreatment and poverty as well.
And guess what?. In their category, they emerged first.
In
my opinion they deserved this, reason being they did this in thought of those
even the simplest of theorists would never think of.
They had people's well-being
at heart and stuck to it to the latter.
Kudos and a big cup of supremacy to
their school, supervisor and those who took part in making their project a success.
To Nadia and Aryan, a poetic note to show the world of what
a priceless jewel you are to the society and world at large:
A lions chose to defend its
pride,
With a roar it stood its ground
to find,
A queen and a king serve,
But a prince and a princess are
priceless and bigger than a nerve,
Reality strikes the weak,
But the strong know the real tips
in life with a click,
A pure heart moves endlessly,
And showers all we have with
love,
The stars you seek,
But you found more-created the
ink,
A solution to the world,
And a mouth to give word,
You chose to make it work.
The sky is the limit,
The limitless is what your hearts
give and make it pure forever.
