Resort to Untrained graduate under TSC...and do the best..and score well with students as a maths teacher. .things happen in Kenya......economic meltdown happens.....the relevant departments fail to employ its own citizens...or let's say, some....for name, home and/ or lack of godfather. Go even for a graduate degree....nothing doing. Slowly you get tired and seek alternatives-maybe Botswana, maybe elsewhere.....maybe there could be hope elsewhere...you absorb the idea and begin to make it real....and here comes the story of the long trek. Read and enjoy....
