From Grass to Grace: Top Student Goldalyn Kakuya Meets President Uhuru
Goldalyn Kakuya has been celebrated for her academic brilliance and hardwork.
She is a shining star. A beacon for other kids who live with albinism.
Betilda and her husband Harrison Tanga are both black and therefore Goldalyn’s white skin and blonde hair was perplexing. It didn’t take long for the doctors to figure out she had albinism – a genetic condition in which a person is born with no melanin, the pigment responsible for tanning of skin.
Her mother who shared the same sentiments said children such as Goldalyn are normal just that their skin lacks melanin.
Today she meet with Uhuru Kenyatta who wrote, “Congratulated and had a chat with this year’s top KCPE candidate Goldalyn Kakuya. Goldalyn has a very bright future and our Administration will ensure that she receives all the support she needs to fulfil her dreams.”
Today she met President Uhuru Kenyatta who gave her a pat on the back. Check out the photos below:
