After voluntarily offering to cradle a student’s baby during an exam at Machakos University, a lecturer touched the hearts of many within the classroom and across the digital realm.
In a heartwarming Facebook post shared by philanthropist Dennis Mbugua, the teacher was captured carrying the infant on her back while diligently supervising the examination. Remarkably, the baby remained peacefully asleep throughout the entire duration of the test.
Dennis Mbugua, clearly moved by the selfless act, accompanied his Facebook post with a note praising the lecturer’s extraordinary commitment. He wrote, “The lecturer picked up the innocent baby and continued invigilating the exam. This is going the extra mile… blessings beyond blessings. Big up, Madam.”
Duncan Mbuya, a content creator, joined in the admiration, stating, “This is Ruth Mburu, a lecturer at Machakos University. When I first met her years ago, I sensed her unwavering dedication to both education and family. She even carries answer sheets wherever she goes to ensure prompt marking and results delivery. It’s clear that she wasn’t merely pretending. May this child grow to be as humble as Ruth, and may the child’s mother find favor after completing her studies. Balancing studying while caring for a baby is no easy feat, but she is undeniably dedicated.”
Netizens chimed in with their own words of appreciation:
- Joyce Maina commented, “This shows the compassionate heart of a mother.”
- Rasta Gal Liz exclaimed, “Congratulations, and thank you, Mama.”
- Jacob Makenzi noted, “I believe the lecturer’s name is Madam Mburu, but I stand corrected if I’m mistaken.”
- Mc Culture humorously added, “And the father of the child is probably somewhere relaxing with another university student.”
- Dorothy Osoro offered her blessings, saying, “Be blessed, Madam, for your caring heart.”
- Beatrice Katunge recognized the remarkable display of humanity, saying, “This is humanity at its finest. Bravo, Mama.”
