Felix Odiwuor who is commonly known as Jalang’o was born and raised in Homa Bay. He came from a very humble background where his parents were farmers who would work hard every day to make sure that they place something on the table to eat. The basic needs were hard to get most of the time. The family went through numerous strains and struggles for instances getting basic needs like food was hard.
Felix Odiwuor went Homa Bay Lake Primary School for his early education, though used to walk a long distance from his home to school. Lastly he managed to score 427 out of 500 marks. He really worked hard despite all the challenges, miseries and embarrassments he went through. He managed to get a chance in Maseno School which is one of the top performing national schools. His father was working very hard to get his school fees which was higher compared to the local secondary schools as the reporting date was approaching. They had to organise for a fundraising to raise his fee. One week later, they got the school fees which was needed but things did not go as it was planned since they had delayed for a whole week last the reporting date.
It was a terrible moment for Jalang’o and his family for him not to be admitted into that top performing school. The student was stranded with his metallic box, fully dressed in Maseno School uniform. They had no other option other than trying local schools around their village. They managed to secure a chance at Bar Kanyango Secondary School in Siaya County which is one of the local schools. Jalang’o was admitted there, but the School fee became another huge challenge. He was transferred to Nyang’oma Secondary School in Bondo where his brother was studying due to school fee problem. His elder brother was forced to drop out of school since his father could not manage to look for school fees of two students to give Jalang’o a chance to continue with his studies. The father could pay the school fees with anything he had at hand for example at times he could supply the institution with firewood, beans and maize.
