How Telvin came to the limelight
Telvin came to the limelight a few weeks ago after he took care of passenger Viola after she fell ill in the matatu she boarded, in which Telvin was the tout.
The kindhearted matatu tout not only alerted the driver to take a detour to the hospital so that Viola could receive medical attention, but he also stayed with her as she was being treated.
"I remember during the incident, you told me to trust you, and you kept me company as I received treatment. May God bless you so much. You have such a kind heart, Telvin," Viola told him days later.
In an interview, Telvin disclosed that he promised to always help anyone in need because his mum died over a case of negligence.
"I decided that I would help who would ever need my help," he disclosed.
