Kenyan teacher Peter Tabichi, center, reacts after winning the $1 million Global Teacher Prize in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Sunday, March 24, 2019. Tabichi is a science teacher who gives away 80 percent of his income to the poor in the remote Kenyan village of Pwani.
Classrooms are poorly equipped and the school, which teaches students between 11 and 16 years-old, has just one computer with intermittent Internet access.Not only was it Tabichi’s first time on an airplane coming to Dubai, but he was awarded during a ceremony hosted by actor Hugh Jackman. Dubai’s Crown Prince Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum was on hand to present the prize.
Tabichi thanked his father for instilling Christian values in him, then pointed to his father in the audience, invited him up on stage and handed him the award to hold as the room erupted in applause and cheers. The winner is selected by committees comprised of teachers, educational experts, journalists, officials, entrepreneurs, business leaders and scientists from around the world.
Good for him helping poor people pays off God have him a reward😍😍👏👏
I know a teacher in Kenya, He lives in a small house without running water or a toilet. He worries about making a living and is trying to figure out ways to build a life for himself by getting some land and buying some cows. As he likes to say, it’s a Third World country.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
He is an inspiration. God bless him.👏👏👏👏

AWESOME! Its different in Africa, everywhere I went, kids REALLY wanted to go to school. (Above Zambia) It wasn’t a chore, or a “waste”. I loved seeing smaller schools , they would have to get kids from watching at the windows. Very cool.
Look at his luminous face—now there’s a hero!
Imagine what he’ll do now.
A true humanitarian...
He continues to teach by setting an example to the world at large. teachergoals
May we all even have a piece of cheerful, giving heart 🙏❤️
Wow! Well deserved!
Very nice for him and his career.

He will do great things with this.
Educational systems meet and multiply the scope of ownership and return by imposing the systems of the region and documenting the system of accreditation and the quality of systems
This kind of news is want I always want to here, God bless him more being Rich to me is by helping others in needs.
And he’ll probably give most of that to the poor in his community as well... Teaching is a calling. Thank you Lord for sacrificial teachers.
Can’t think of a person more deserving of that reward.
Thank you for bringing some good news today.
