Solomon Njoroge, 14, is supposed to be in school like other pupils who are in the final days of the second term.

But today, Njoroge, who has grown up without a mother, is now confined to a bed at the Kenyatta National Hospital after being shot on Saba Saba Day while playing football in Tigoni, Kiambu County.
