Peter Tabichi, Kenyan Teacher Wins $1M Global Prize by oluchisimfred: 7:33am On Mar 25, 2019
A Kenyan teacher who donates his salary to poor students, has won a $1M global prize after being crowned the world’s best teacher.


36-year-old science teacher from rural Kenya who emerged winner out of 10,000 nominations from 179 countries, received his prize at a ceremony in Dubai hosted by actor Hugh Jackman. Peter Tabichi, a maths and physics teacher at Keriko secondary school in Pwani Village, who won the Varkey Foundation Global Teacher Prize 2019, started a “talent nurturing club” and expanded the school’s science club, helping pupils design research projects of such quality that many now qualify for national competitions.

The Kenyan teacher who won the $1M global prize, donates 80% of his salary to help the poorest students at the poorly-equipped and overcrowded school who could not otherwise not afford uniforms and books. It was further gathered that more than 90% of his pupils are from poor families and almost a third are orphans or have only one parent. They reportedly walk 7km along roads that can become impassable in the rainy season to reach the school, and the area can be affected by drought and famine.

shocked

The power of giving and the reward for compassion. Giving and Compassion are the laws to abundance. Nobody has ever lived his life for others and remained unblessed. It is a catalyst that force open heavens and unlocks every shut door of prosperity over any life.

A law given to Nature by God to apply on all men who obey its principles. It has no relationship with righteousness. It is one mystery that applies to every man under the earth. The mystery of seed and harvest, planting and reaping, emptying to be refilled.

Those who sow seeds reap, and those who plant, harvest of it thereof but, a man who sow men is the greatest of them all.

He's a true definition of Teaching which is the passing of what's worthwhile to people who ain't learned as you, but they must be sound after receiving.. He gave them his salary as his teaching aids to get their attentions and made them interested.. He's a teacher and deserves more than that...Teachers are now rewarded in Earth before they go to Heaven
