Born and brought up in a small village in Rimoi a Asal ,sirmeba being from a poor family struggled hard to meet his families needs.
It was in the early 90s when he left one morning for kessup to get some vegetable famously known as ''Nderemiat'',Kessup stands at the semi highlands of keiyo facing Tugen hills.as he climbed the hills he was
preocupied with how he would have been if he was given the chance to go to school.
He stood at the peak if the hill and cursed the day he was born. Little did he know that actualy the vegetable he was going to pick would be a turn in his life,has no one know what the future awaits,the son of a woman went ahead to his destination.
Kessup is approximately 20 kilmetres from Rimoi valley leave alone the huge escarp that one had to climb in
order to reach there.
The boy was barely 10 years old and a fresh standard two drop out,he dropped out of school due to the
harsh and severe droughts that saw most of the Rimoi inhibitans go a week without a meal save for those
families who were able to provide for themselves.
On arrival in kessup the son of a woman was as weak as a feable twig,he could no longer move any further, hungry and thirsty the boy was almost passing out until this shopkeeper a generous guy brought
him a soda and a half a loaf that he took hurriedly.
