In January 2012, 24-year-old Anthony Omari was guarding the Faraja Children’s Home in Ngong, Kenya, when six intruders tried to break in while 37 orphans slept inside.
Omari grabbed a hammer and fought back.
During the struggle, he was slashed across the head and face, suffering deep wounds that required stitches. But he refused to retreat until the attackers finally fled.
Not one of the 37 children was harmed.
One man. One hammer. Six armed attackers. 37 children protected.
