Celebrated Kenyan teacher Peter Tabichi on Monday met with the United States of America President Donald Trump.

Following Tabichi’s meeting with Trump, the White House praised him for his selfless nature of giving away 80 percent of his salary to help needy students.

In a statement issued by the White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham, White House stated: “His dedication, hard work, and belief in his student’s talent has led his poorly resourced school in Kenya to emerge victorious after taking on the country’s best schools in national science competitions.

“Peter, you inspire us all! Thank you for your commitment to your students,” they added.

He is expected to share insights on how he managed to excel as a teacher in a community where poverty is widespread.

The 36-year-old has attributed his success to his father.
