KWS ranger melts hearts after carrying disabled girl up a hill for this view – PHOTOS


A Kenya Wildlife Services (KWS) ranger is the darling of social media after carrying a disabled schoolgirl up a hill for a view of Chania falls at the Aberdare National park.

Ranger Philip Wesa got touched after getting word from his colleagues of the girl who could not climb the hill because she is disabled.

Deborah Nyaboke from Joyland Special School in Kisumu had been left behind in the school bus by her schoolmates who went to view the waterfall.

Mr Wesa, upon getting the news, went to the school bus and carried the Form two pupil on his back.

The two ascended the hill with the help of other KWS rangers, all in a noble effort for the girl to get a magnificent view of the waterfall.
