"The girl is in Grade Three and her home is very far, so I couldn't release the child half naked. I decided to sew her dress; I always carry a needle and thread around so I closed the door and covered her with my leso, then started mending her dress," she said.
After seeing the photo, netizens from all walks of life took to platforms such as Facebook to thank the teacher for having a noble heart.
They have also urged the Teacher's Service Commission to promote the seasoned teacher a job well done since 1989.
