This boy, who is barely a child, has changed my life with his heart,” said an excited Mr. John between sobs, while those present applauded with admiration.
The act not only transformed the life of the janitor, but has also inspired the entire educational community and the country. Social networks have been filled with messages of support and praise towards Yamal, highlighting their humility and their social commitment beyond the courts. The school, on the other hand, plans to honor this moment with a commemorative plaque in honor of both, as a symbol of gratitude and solidarity.
