“I don’t see anything extraordinary to invite these good friends of mine on such a memorable day in my life. They are normal human beings just facing challenges back at home that push them to the streets," she said after the nuptials.
The officer is celebrated for embracing street urchins whom she feeds and takes care of as her own using her salary.![Doris Wako.]( "Doris Wako.")
