KIMANY MARUGE

When KIMANI MARUGE was born in Kenya between 1919 or 1921. His dad was a cowherd. There weren't freee schools in Kenya so Kimani wasn't at school. He was a cowherd with his dad all his life. He was sad when the animals were sick.
In 2003 there was a new law in Kenya. There was free education for everyone. Kimani was about 84 years old.
In 2004 Kimani was in the GUINESS RECORDS BOOK, he was the oldest Primary pupil en the world! He was in class 1 with his grandchildren, and he was a good pupil.
In 2005, he was on the United Nations giving a conference. There were a lot of reporters.

He died in August 2009.

Here are some videos about him.
