• Two years after his remarkable journey began, a touching letter penned by Elvis to the well-wisher is now coming to light, and his handwriting is now moving many

In 2021, the photo of a young barefooted boy staring at a pupil with shoes emerged on social media and moved many to their heartstrings.

The viral photo showed a dishevelled Elvis Bwire adoringly staring at a photo of a neat pupil, and it moved many as it showed him seemingly desiring to own shoes and be like the neat boy he was gazing at.

A few days after he went viral, a Ugandan company found Bwire and bought him shoes. The company also sponsored his education at a better school, and since then, the young lad's life has never been the same.

Two years since he went viral, a letter that Bwire wrote to the CEO of the Ugandan company for changing his life was also shared on social media, and it touched many.

Netizens were warmed not only by the message of gratitude he conveyed to the well-wisher but also by his handwriting.

Bwire's thank you note to well-wisher

In his thank-you note, the little boy thanked the CEO for taking him to a better school where he found new friends and classmates.

"May the Almighty God continue to bless you and bring us more children," he wrote in his letter posted on Facebook.

The heartwarming handwritten note moved many on social media. Here is what some had to say.

Kansiime Winnie said:

"He has a nice handwriting."

Katongole Hadijjah said:

"The best handwriting. Bless you, Bravo."

Joseph Olupot said:

"Indeed touching but believe me, it may look small to you, but the writer of this letter sees it as everything from his heart. Even to write it alone took him a good energy and leave a lone delivering and seeing you receive it is a big big thing to him."

Imran Sasha said:

"What a beautiful way of showing appreciation!"
