Nyeri village searches for lost child in cold
In another story, Karatina residents thronged a village in search of a little girl identified as Baby Grace, who suddenly went missing.
Although it was very cold and foggy, the residents were undeterred in their quest to find the little girl. They stayed in the cold for hours on end, and those whose farms were trampled on as the search intensified did not even complain.
The search went on for days, and the group was determined to bring the girl who should be enjoying her mum's love home.
