Translated from his Spanish language to Kiswahili using modern technology, the boy wrote on the placard that; 'Habari, mimi ni mwanariadha na ningejivunia kuvaa shati ya Kenya katika mbio zangu, ungenipa?' (Hello, I am an athlete and would be honoured to wear a Kenyan jersey during my races, are you willing to give me one?).
Korir was so impressed by the boy's creativity and uniqueness that he removed his jersey and gifted him.
Reacting to the brilliant banner via a Facebook post, Barnaba Korir, a former Athlete, Chairman of Youth Development at Athletics Kenya and the World Athletics continental Tour Nairobi Meet Director, shared the pictures, saying: "Too much Love! Big up Felix Korir."
