The Sickly, Smelly Boy - Frankline Okata
Franklin Okata did not have the sort of childhood that regular boys have. He had a medical condition that took the joy out of him well into adulthood. However, through all this, he has experienced something that is greater than pain- The love, patience and strength of family. This is his story at Engage 25.

i have always searched for his identity, until today. what a story!
This is the Mwalimu Andrew "the laugh of my life"
Oh Mwalimu Andrew. Had you put on your green kaunda suit and the ECK T-shirt, we would have recognize you earlier. So inspiring.
Wow! Franklin that's encouraging i found myself shouting hallelujah after watching ...i didn't know that teachers can sneak out of school 😅😅😅
Glad to finally meet the person behind Staffroom Diary!! Great story. .can't wait to see Fiolina😅😅
Mwalimu Andrew's message on empathy rather than sympathy is a strong one. What a story.
I guess I’ll never understand human beings, hata such a touching story people still click a thumbs down. Dre, waaah, I expected to see you in a green kaunda 😃, you washed me here. Halafu that day Dr.Kitata of the UoN made us wait for you in ED2 theatre for hours long, you never showed up 😭😭. I’ve been reading you since primary school and I’ll continue to. Love is God and God is love, it’s an energy that if naturally radiated from deep within us to the next person,next creature, makes the world phenomenal. Let’s read more of you. Bless you so much.
Oh this is Mwalimu Andrew I just love his sense of humor in his literary works.
3yrs later watching this and my take away is despite my condition I don’t need to be healed to be useful…Amen to that!
A very captivating presentation from my kinsman. I actually laugh foolishly every Sunday when I read the mwalimu Andrew column. The man who scored a strong D- and worships in a church called THOAG (The Holiest Of All Ghosts) Tabernacle Assembly. Kudos omwami!

😂😂😂😂 you got me
Call people by their names but not their conditions(WORD)
A story of real bravery&courage People rarely share their stories of shame.. Your written stories of Mwalimu diaries, bring laughter,reminds me of Wahome Mutahi's(Whispers) characters (Appepkolonia
Watching from Saudi Arabia Nothing Is parmanent Not Even Our Problems
wow am encouraged.my sister is epileptic.but despite that she is a great soul.i love you rhoda
You remind me of something the bible says that love covers all, accepts all, and endures all. I am happy you were loved so wholly in this world. Great inspiration you are!
So this mwalimu Andrew l was a very big fan back in the days 2009 -2010 on sunday nation that’s the page l would always look up for a good Sunday laughter kudos mwalimu 👏
Mwalimu Andrew.... Who would have guessed..... And Yes, you don't need to be healed to be useful
Oh My.... Finally I have put a face behind the man who has entertained me every Sunday! Cheers Meeen...It takes boldness to thrive amidst such struggles!
I had a room mate back in high school who had a bed wetting problem. I stuck by her thro' form 3 and 4 coz nobody else wanted to share a cubicle with her. I would even help her take out the matress. Unfortunately we have lost touch. But she was adorable.

I have laughed several times through out this video. Really love conquers all, great family. I've never heard of you before now I'll google Mwalimu Andrew. Teaches us not to take normal bodily functions for granted. Always thank God.
By your name Jehovah Rapha , May the healing power of Jesus manifest in your life in Jesus name...there was a woman with an issue of blood and she got healed. Give reference to God of what He done in the past for others and He will do it for you.

Bed wetting is something that can really lower one's self esteem.. If you the writer of the staff diaries ,this proves that there's a story behind each writer /writing. Great talk

"You don't need to be healed to be useful " . That right there is an iconic phrase.....bless you for sharing your life.. Psst:Mwalimu Andrew did not replace Whispers in my view there is continuity . It has not only brought a fresh sense of humour with an awesome twist they both would have had to be printed daily if Wahome M was there for your literary work is at par and beyond
