Girl on risky ride lights up social media

When she embarked on her usual role of assisting her grandmother fetch firewood from the forest, class five pupil Faith Jepchirchir, 13, was not aware she will be a center of interest in going rounds the social media.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but some random pictures, taken purely by chance, become more than just that.

One such photo, taken by a motorist on Friday somewhere at the edge of Kamotony Forest in Kapsowar, Elgeyo Marakwet, lit up the social media for its humorous innocence and tinge of horror put together.
