Just hours as pupils went back to their respective schools for the second term, a picture of a teacher mending her pupil's uniform in class went viral on social media platforms.
K24 Digital embarked on a mission to trace the teacher who had been lauded by Kenyans for her exceptional performance.
K24 Digital has established that the woman is a Primary School teacher at Siyiapei Primary School in Narok County.

Madam Joyce Sempela Malit has been a teacher since 1989. She was seen helping a Grade Three pupil whose school uniform had been torn while playing during break time.
"This is a Grade Three girl whose dress got torn all around as she was in the field. The child is young and her home is very far so I couldn't have released the child half naked," Joyce said.
"I decided to sew her dress. I can never miss a thread and a needle in my handbag. I closed the door, took my leso, removed her dress and tied her with my leso in case somebody peeped through the windows," Madam Joyce narrated.
A section of Kenyans on social media now want Teacher Service Commission (TSC) to promote the said teacher due to her love for children and humane heart.
Our sources have also established that Joyce is a Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT)'s Narok North Woman Representative.
