The most popular searching machine (Google) created a logo on its homepage for the 11th anniversary since the Maruge enrolled in primary school school of his area, on January 12, 2004.
It's never too late to learn new things!
H Google honors Kenyan Kimani Maruge, who, motivated to learn to read the Bible and count, first went to school in age 84 years old. The flame of learning never went out for the old Kenyan, which earned him a place in the Guinness Book of Records.
Google Communications Manager Dorothy Ooky he told the BBC for Kimani Maruge that "the passion he had for learning throughout his life shines globally as a beacon for lifelong learning", adding that "although the logos are used to celebrate the lives of famous scientists and artists, Google she is thrilled with a man who dedicated his life to such an important cause."
Maruge, who best embodied Solon's saying, "I am aged as a learner," had fought for Kenya's independence from Great Britain and died five years later from stomach cancer in 2009.
