Going To School With Her Great-Great-Granchildren

Ninety-year-old Priscilla Sitienei is believed to be the oldest primary school student in the world. As an active midwife in Kenya, Priscilla helped deliver many of her primary-school classmates, including six of her great-grand children who are in her class. Community members and students affectionately call Priscilla "Gogo," which means grandmother in the local Kalenjin language. To them, Gogo is a shining example that it is never too late to pursue a dream. By finally learning to read and write, Gogo hopes to pass on her midwifery and literacy knowledge for future generations.
