Not everyone can be honored with a Google Doodle, this is a special, temporary alteration of the logo on Google's homepage that is intended to celebrate holidays, events, achievements and people. Today doodlers have published a doodle to honor the 11th anniversary of Kimani Maruge's first day in school.

Kimani Ng’ang’a Maruge holds the Guinness World Record for being the oldest person to start primary school at age 84.

Maruge attended Kapkenduiywo Primary School in Eldoret, Kenya; he said that the government's announcement of universal and free elementary education in 2003 prompted him to enroll.

In 2005 Maruge, who was a model student, was elected head boy of his school.

In September 2005, Maruge boarded a plane for the first time in his life, and headed to New York City to address the United Nations Millennium Development Summit on the importance of free primary education.
