A leaked phone call between Bungoma teenager Bryson Makokha and the man who first brought his story to the public has given Kenyans a heartwarming update on the 17-year-old's recovery journey in Nairobi.
Bryson first came to national attention after a video of him crying while selling bananas in Chwele, Bungoma, went viral.
The clip revealed that the teenager had been living with a rare chronic skin condition for roughly eight years, during which customers regularly avoided him due to stigma.

Comedian Eric Omondi responded swiftly, visiting Bryson through his Sisi Kwa Sisi initiative. The public rallied behind the cause, raising over KSh 5.6 million, which helped secure Bryson a place at Luton Hospital in Nairobi, where a team of eight doctors has since taken charge of his care.
On Saturday, November 14, Minister Zido, the person credited with first discovering Bryson's story, shared a phone call he had with the teen, giving followers a candid glimpse into how the youngster is settling into treatment.
