Honouring the Life and Heroism of Cecilia Wanjiku.
Today, we mourn the painful loss of Cecilia Wanjiku, a form four student from Kambi Somali, one of our bright NGCDF scholars whose future carried so much promise.
Cecilia scored an impressive 399 marks in her KCPE examinations at Gilgil Highway Primary School before joining Karima Girls and later transferring to Utumishi Girls. She excelled in her studies and was the school’s best student in Sciences, consistently maintaining top grades, with her lowest mean grade being a B+. She had been selected to represent her school in a biology contest at Amref University next week on 6th June.
We also appreciate her biology teacher, Mr. Joseph Karanja, for the guidance and mentorship he gave Cecilia throughout her academic journey.
According to fellow students, Cecilia sadly lost her life while courageously trying to save other students during the tragedy. Her bravery, brilliance, and selflessness will forever remain in our hearts and in the hearts of all whose lives she touched.
My thoughts and prayers are with her mother, Elizabeth Wanjiru, and the entire family during this painful and difficult time. May God grant them strength, comfort, and peace.
May Cecilia Wanjiku’s soul rest in eternal peace.
