• A street boy was buried a hero on Tuesday after he died saving his friends
• Peter Ndingori was speaking with his girlfriend when he heard screams from Sosiani River
• He jumped into the roaring waters and saved two boys, then drowned

On a gloomy Tuesday morning, a group of street children gathered at a public cemetery on the outskirts of Eldoret town.

It was a sombre occasion. They were paying their last respects to one of their own who died a hero on Friday evening.
