A story is told about an African president who decided to find the most prolific citizen in his country. So he interviewed the smartest and most prominent academics, professionals, sportsmen and artists. First was a doctor, who took out a photograph of a state-of-the-art hospital and said: Mister President, look at this beautiful hospital, the best machines in the world, the best doctors, fully digitized management system, patient filing system.\u00a0 We can even link up with a specialist in New York, who can do an operation, with the aid of robots, on a child in an African village thousands of miles away.\u00a0 It\u2019s my life\u2019s work.\u201d<\/p>\n

And the President was impressed and replied: \u201cWell done, Doc! You doctors really change the world.\u00a0 Keep up the good work!\u201d<\/p>\n

Second was an engineer. She took out a diagram explaining how to monitor a patient on a ventilator, hundreds of miles away, with alarm notifications to message the nearest nurse, if the vitals or oxygen uptake of the patient falls below certain levels. \u201cI patented this in 44 countries, Mister President, it will change the lives of so many people, it will even save lives in remote villages in Africa, South America and Asia. Isn\u2019t she beautiful?\u00a0 It is my life\u2019s work.\u201d<\/p>\n

And the President was in awe: \u201cWow, impressive! Well done! You engineers really change the world. Keep up the good work.\u201d<\/p>\n

Third was a prominent politician, he was a governor of a large county where he relentlessly worked to improve the lives of his people. He took out a picture of a new precinct with a new training hospital and an R&D center for digital health solutions, funded by some of the largest philanthropic organisations in the world. \u201cIsn\u2019t she beautiful, Mister President\u201d he said, \u201cwe are going to change this county, create jobs and heal our people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Again the president was impressed: \u201cSome of you politicians really impress me. You can really change this world for the better. Well done!\u201d<\/p>\n

The President turned to the next person in the row, a small, old lady with a walking stick, her wrinkled face smiling in the sun. He was perplexed. \u201cMama,\u201d he asked, \u201cand what did you achieve in your lifetime?\u201d<\/p>\n

She shuffled and retrieved a faded black and white picture from her dress, where she kept it close to her heart. It was of 3 elementary school children, playing under a tree, singing nursery rhymes. She presented it to the President: \u00a0\u201cAren\u2019t they beautiful,\u201d she smiled. \u201cThey are my life\u2019s work.\u201d<\/p>\n

Confused, the President asked: \u201cMama, they\u2019re beautiful, but who are these children?\u201d<\/p>\n

And she responded: \u201cYou just interviewed them.\u00a0 I was their teacher\u201d.<\/p>\n

In October last year I had the privilege of sharing this story at the launch of the Grace Onyango Foundation for Digital Health in Africa, in the lakeside city of Kisumu, in Kenya. It was an august occasion, graced by diplomats, educators, entrepreneurs, researchers, engineers, academics, technocrats and other interesting people, sheltering from the tropical heat in the former Native Cultural Center, where many of their forebears were allowed to gather socially in pre-independence Kenya.<\/p>\n

And what brought us all together was a diminutive, wrinkled faced 98-year old woman, a grandmother and great grandmother to many, and a teacher and role model to so many more in the region: Mama Grace Onyango.<\/p>\n

The story of Mama Grace Onyango is simultaneously mesmerizing and inspiring. As daughter of this region she initially trained and became an elementary grade teacher, before entering politics in a firmly patriarchal society and becoming the first female mayor of Kisumu, thereafter the first female member of parliament in post independent Kenya and later also presiding as speaker of the Kenyan parliament. She not only changed the colonial names of the streets in the region, she also changed people\u2019s perceptions about women in leadership, long before it was in vogue, and she changed the lives of many, many people.<\/p>\n

And despite the many accolades and achievements her legacy evokes, what struck me most about the story of Mama Grace Onyango was the caliber of people who was taught at her feet in the villages around Kisumu, many decades ago. People who became internationally renowned doctors, professors, politicians, economists and lawyers, and who learnt the basics of reading, writing, counting and a love for life from this remarkable lady.<\/p>\n

It was therefore very befitting that a number of her former pupils, now also gray and wise, resolved to name a Foundation for her, to etch her name forever in the history of this county, the region and the continent: The Grace Onyango Foundation for Digital Health in Africa.\u00a0 It didn\u2019t matter that she doesn\u2019t do digital, that she isn\u2019t an engineer or a doctor. The important fact is that she inspired and laid the foundation, many decades ago, for children in Kisumu to become the doctors, engineers, professors and politicians that will change this continent, and make it a better place for all its people.<\/p>\n

Also in attendance were some very dear friends and contemporaries of Mama Grace, formidable ladies in their own right who had battled from the same trenches the many barriers facing women in leadership, over many decades: Mama Muthoni Likimani, Mama Julia Ojiambo, Mama Jael Mbogo, Mama Professor Miriam Were.\u00a0 Hearing their fond memories of camaraderie and friendship was moving and inspiring and a welcome reminder that women must not hesitate to celebrate each other. We\u2019ll done and thank you to the Forum for African Women Educators, FAWE, for making their attendance possible.<\/p>\n

It was further befitting that the celebrations were held in the former Native Cultural Center, now aptly renamed the Grace Onyango Cultural Centre by the Kisumu County Government and spruced up with the generous help of the French embassy in Kenya. Evoking many rich memories amongst the attendees, many in their seventies and older, who frequented the venue in their youths, the newly refurbished Centre was the perfect setting for the celebrations.<\/p>\n

To crown the gala dinner event, FAWE also celebrated their founder members, all prolific women in education, including former Ministers of Education, from across the continent, who founded FAWE three decades ago in 1991: Hon. Simone de Comarmond of Seychelles, Hon. Dr Fay Chung of Zimbabwe, Hon. Paulette Missambo of Gabon, Hon. Alice Tiendreb\u00e9ogo of Burkina Faso and the late Hon. Vida Yeboa of Ghana.<\/p>\n

The spontaneous applause every time when an award was presented to a founder member, some mastering the modern dial in technology to greet us on screen, reminded me why I also elected to become an educator.\u00a0 It really is a noble profession, a calling, and it gives birth to all the clever, innovative modern developments in society.<\/p>\n

We should celebrate our educators more often. Not only on 5 October, World Teachers Day, or on 24 January, International Day of Education. Every Day should be Educators Day.\u00a0 Celebrate them while they are still with us.<\/p>\n

Pick up your phone today, and phone that teacher who shaped your life. Just do it.\u00a0 We are their life work, like the old lady in the story.<\/p>\n
