The best pupil from Kerugoya Municipality Schools in Kirinyaga county wants to be a pilot after being inspired by Captain Savirmaria Ondego, a Kenya Airways pilot who commanded KQ203/RAO001 from India to Kenya.
The captain brought the late Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s body from India to Kenya.
According Jasmine Wangechi Wang’ondu, it was inspiring for a woman to have such big dreams, be a pilot and more so fly such a big boeing.”It was indeed highly emotional and historic for Captain Ondego to fly such a big boeing, she inspired me in going for my dream of being a pilot and maybe be a captain like her in the future,” she said.
