A homeless man
Almost everyone we see is being run behind money so vigorously that it looks like money is the only thing left in the important world. A homeless man was lying under a tree and looking at a flower shop roadside. Valentine was in the corner but he had no money to do something special for his beloved. And there was nothing new about it.
Most of the life on the streets
This homeless man was now accustomed to street life. He lived there for over 15 years and he cared the least to make money or get a job. That's the thing about most people that we hope in the streets, they stopped trying to be paying long. Yes, no one chooses to live in the streets again, but that's what we thought till date. The financial crisis and neglectful parents are one of the main reasons why people end up living in the streets.
Streets of Nairobi
According to the children of the charitable hope Kenya, in 2007, about 250 000 to 300 000 children were homeless between Kenya, including 60,000 living in the streets of Nairobi, the capital. This guy was not different from these people until one day he was at the sight of a stranger.
Overcome problems
In recent years he has learned that life was not so bad for him. Yes, he lived in the street yet it has found the love of his life. He was happy even when he had no fixed job and a home for this new girl has learned it at home is not a place but someone's arms. Although they were not satisfied with their lives, they were happy to have finally found.
Someone remarked
So this weekend before Valentine's Day, a person noticed this homeless man sleeping under the tree. He called some of his team and stressed man. These guys were looking for someone exactly like him. But how can a homeless man be useful to these men?
A photographer
This man was a skilled photographer who was looking for something unique to capture. When he looked at the guy lying under the tree and looking at the flower stand, he rode a good idea. He then shared the idea of his team that appreciated but human contribution homeless was obliged to fulfill that idea.
A draft Valentine
Good idea
The really skilled photographer of Kenya owns the MutiRri frames. The company photography and cinematography awarded a job to a team of photographers to offer amazing ideas for the week of lovers who can help their business grow in popularity.
Fortunate
Thus, this team of photographers was looking for something that can increase their popularity by winning the hearts of many people in Kenya. Little did they know, this simple effort will close the life of a couple in reverse. They were not even sure that the homeless man would like their plan for it or not.
Finding inspiration
Johnson's goal in this new idea was to find unique results. The whole team was brainstorming for innovative thoughts in action. One day he spoke to a colleague named, Jacinta Njoki, who used to volunteer to help children live on the street. That's when she suggested a perfect photography plan.
Redefine love
"Muchari Frames is a photography business that is great on weddings and a celebration of love is our specialty. Valentine's Day, in the spirit of redefining and redefining love by its simplest form, we decided to do something different for someone who had no way to pay us back, ", explained Johnson.
The plan
Their plan was to find a homeless couple and make them prospects of Valentine's Day Photoshoot special. Their plan was just to click on their photos. But they were not aware of the difficulties that involve finding love in the streets of Nairobi.
The search begins
Jacinta and his team members were looking for a couple but they could not find anyone in the coming days. After asking more hundreds of people, they were finally informed of a couple they could find in any of the city park.
The couple
After looking in many of the parks, they finally found a man who pointed out this guy lying under the tree. He lived there in Central Park near the Central Business District. The name of the guy was Sammy Githae Alias Blackie.
A big smile
Johnson and his team approached Sammy and had just started with a random conversation with him. From one subject to another, when the group of photographers laid his beloved, a big smile appeared on his face. This smile was enough for the team to speak to the right person.
Speak of love
Sammy then spoke of his girlfriend and Johnson remembered that this moment as follows: "His illuminated eyes and the question seemed almost therapeutic as he began to describe his girlfriend." At that time, Johnson finally decided to share his project with Sammy. His reaction? Obviously, shock!
A photo session
When Johnson finally saw the discussion of their project and what they were looking for, he told the whole plan and explained the reason behind her. Even if Sammy loved the idea he could not say yes without informing his daughter.
Hesitant girl
Zipporah Njeri Aka Virginia, Sammy's girlfriend met him in the streets a few years back. They had been together since. When Sammy told him about this photographers plan, she was not convinced at all. She did not want to have a photoshoot done.
An unusual request
"We approached them and Githae Alias Blackie was ready and ready, but Njeri was a little hesitant because she thought we would take care of it. We assured them that we just wanted them to spend a good time and it was at that time that she accepted, "Johnson said.
A great couple
Sammy insisted on the acceptance of this offer. It would be his Valentine's Day gift to his daughter and they were not sure that life will give them so great luck again. Before all his requests, Zipporah finally gave.
Spread the message of love
Sammy, on the other hand, believed that the world needed to see his love of his girlfriend. So, it was time to run the plan. The team had a shooting plan beyond images before and after images of this couple. Before a makeover and after a makeover. Yes, it was not going to be a simple photo shoot.
Interview the couple
With their photoshoot and relooking, the team also wanted an interview with the couple. Although the couple is happy to meet, their past was miserable. It was after the couple shared the story behind their homelessness.
How they finished homeless
"Njeri and Githae met two years ago at Central Park, which they finally made their" house "matrimonial. Githae, who has been in the streets since 2012, was forced from his home while four standards because 'He was the "black sheep" of the family while Njeri left an orphan. She abandoned the school in the form a, "said Johnson.
The photo session before
Johnson clicked on the photos before the photos before the first time the team took them for a makeover. The first thing they did was taking a long and refreshing hot water bath. And brushing your teeth properly. After an hour or more, the couple was ready for the reloking process.
Separate
There were conditions that were very clear to the couple in advance and one of these conditions was not supposed to be supposed to see until the dresser says. As part of the relooking process, the couple was separated and taken to different rooms to wait to see each other in a new avatar.
Dual excitement
This condition bet by Johnson has increased the excitement of the couple as well as anxiety. Although they were not sure of their own appearance, they did not want anyone to do something funny with their partners too. With mixed emotions inside them, the couple followed the conditions and waited for the relooking room to happen soon enough.
Fresh cut
In addition to everything, the couple was not even allowed to look in the mirror as long as they do not reproduce. Sammy received a new haircut with hair trimmed. The whole process of this makeover was close to the hearts of the entire mutirry executive team and made sure to follow everything in a personal and narrow way.
Carefully
Zipporah received a manicure and a high quality pedicure. At the same time, a professional decided which style will suit his hair. Everyone around it was very positive about his new look. In addition, there were more surprises waiting for them.
Relooks
As an important part of his appearance is the outfit, Mutirri Frameworkers came out of shopping for his homeless couple. They asked them their favorite colors and decided what will suit better.
Love story
"Their love story has challenged every chance. They are a young incredible couple with an authentic story to tell. When we took them for the filming of Central Park, the wishes are only with elements used in the manufacture of clothing such as clothing and makeup, "said Johnson.
Hair
Virginia's hair has received a loop look and instantly had different air. She was not at all confident about this new look. So she just kept her fingers crossed and left the rest on the hairstyle to repair.
Just a little touch
In this photo, you can see the stylist giving a final touch to the Zipporah look. She was unrecognizable and waiting for her love to look at her. Sammy's expressions were worth capturing when he saw his girlfriend for the first time with this new look.
Ended!
This is Zipporah's photo checking if his lipstick is fine. It looks like a model out of a magazine. The day brought a crazy turn in the life of the couple. And it was more than just a makeover that they were about to receive. Unfortunately, they will never be able to keep it forever ...
A dream come true
When Sammy and Virginia makeup were completed, they were taken to a scenario location for the photo shoot. That's where they both gathered. The reaction of Sammy said everything when he could not hold his tears to see his daughter in a beautiful avatar.
Tight hug
Zipporah was also emotional when she finally had to see Sammy. They shared a tight hug and tried to stop their tears of joy. Until now, they knew it was a "Cinderella" day for them that will happen soon, but what they were not aware of the world's response to their history.
Dinner time
Once the photo shoot has been made, the Hutiri Frames team sent the couple for a night of romantic dinner. It was like a dream come true and they wanted to store every memory of it for future life.
The story goes viral
In a few weeks, Johnson posted all the beautiful pictures of the couple on the Facebook page. And from there, the story has been shared by thousands of users. They called "glued for life", on various platforms of social media.
Overwhelming response
The overwhelming response that this couple has received online leads to many organizations trying to help them. The couple with a friend has been offered to me for free in Diani, a tropical beach destination on the Kenya Indian Ocean Coast. This trip was organized by Bonfire Adventures on February 21st. Yet it was not everything and their life was not going to get better.
Photos changing life
"Every time they tell their story of change of life, their eyes lit by the fact that they embarked an airplane. A dream even in their best days when they would never have dared to have, "Johnson explained. They lived the life they could have imagined only.
Considering their options
After spending a week in Diani, the couple returned to Nairobi with many more opportunities than ever. The adventures of joy have offered them a house to live for 5 months and offered them well-paid jobs. He looked at all his fans that Sammy and Virginia were finally going to live a good life. But the real stories rarely end on a good note.
Only a half-story
"Sammy and Virginia are doing very well. Currently considering the many job offers that have crossed since their history broke out to see which we are best for them, "Johnson explained the same year. However, the true revelation occurred when the CEO of Bonfire Adventures spoke to the press.
Act as they were interested
"They still have to settle on all job offers as the process of consulting and integration is essential to make sure they do not slip into the streets. They now have a house for rent paid in advance for five months and job offers ... "said Johnson in February 2018, in an interview when he was not aware of the reaction of this couple.
Inspired
"We are inspired by being the change we want to see our small ways and our small spaces. The turning of Valentine was a small gesture that has not only transformed their physical appearance, but their perspective of life. At the end of all this, all the people involved in the experience took lifestyles on unconditional love to heart, "added Johnson. Well, the truth was not yet revealed.
Perfect match
"Under the inspiration of love in its simplest form, we celebrated Valentine's Day with these amazing souls and came out with great testimonials. Indeed, under all dirt, latch clothes and salaried speeches out there rests beautiful people who would prosper as if we offer them the opportunities, love does not discriminate, here is the proof, "said the writer Under the photographs on the hultiri frames website. Now, let's talk about where this couple finally chose to be.
Sad truth
The CEO of Bonfire Adventures, Simon Kabu, later declared the truth in the media. He said, "I paid the rent of the house for Virginia and Blackie separately for eight months; This investment was to take them until October 2018. Fortunately, they had job offers in Bomet. Virginia had to work as a cook and Blackie a gardener in a school in the Rift Valley region. "
Leave work
Simon also says: "While Virginie took the offer, Blackie refused to catch him, saying that he could not go out of Nairobi. However, he did not give any valid reason for his position. After A while, I was told that Virginia returned to the capital in difficult circumstances. "
Consouciant couple
Simon Kabu added: "Blackie did not want documents; he never wanted to work. Sometimes he would come to my office and when I told him I did not have the money he wanted, Or if I was at a meeting, he stayed there until the evening. I was not impressed by that. "
Rehabilitation center
"Blackie must be admitted to a rehabilitation facility; That's what I think I really need. If someone would take it to detox, it would be helped. I tried a lot that I could, but that was clearly not good enough. I tried to reach them for a while, but I could not because they had sold their phones, "said Simon.
Get rid of them
"In the two months, I spent more than 200,000 from my own money on them. At some point, I received a call from someone who claimed that Virginia is pregnant with her child, "he said. General Manager at Bonnefire Adventure, Sarah Kabu said that Sarah Kabu said the name of his company: "We paid six months of rent and gave them money to create a business. I do not know what d Other they want, we can not feed them forever. "
The conclusion
"I never thought I would be back in the streets. It makes me fuck each time I see photos of the makeover. My friends from the street will question me why I boarded a plane only to return to the street, "said Sammy who always blames Johnson the photographer for everything he crosses.
