“The paramedic came at around 7am; the mother is going to name the baby’s second name Chevaan,” he added.
What makes the story even more powerful is that Chevaan has long dreamt of becoming a paramedic, so basically he was in the element of his dream job.
That night, without hesitation, training, or expectation of reward, he showed exactly the kind of courage, compassion, and instinct that South Africa needs in emergency care.
How did Kenyans react to the story?
Rene Hinson:
“This is amazing; he has a calling to be a paramedic!”
Henry Steenkamp:
“No the child’s name is SHELLTON.”
Mpho Constecia Mamphodo :·
“One thing about me ,I cry shame, always chopping onions for strangers.”
VR Marc:
“The babies name is Unleaded.”
Matshidiso Monyebodi:
“Finally, South Africans are making the right person famous. He seems genuinely kind and the fact that he wants to be a paramedic while hustling at the petrol shows he’s a determined hardworker. We should be making people like him famous and donating to them instead.”
