5-year-old girl walks blind father to work every day
A father and daughter in the Philippines have gone viral after video emerged of the five-year-old girl guiding her dad, who is blind, to work.
Each day, young Jenny helps show her father the way to the copra farm in Sogod, Southern Leyte, where he works climbing coconut trees to collect fruit, earning just 300 pesos ($9) a day to provide for his family.
In the sweet video, Jenny guides her father, Nelson “Dodong” Pepe, with the help of a stick. The footage was posted to Facebook a couple of weeks ago and the duo have since become online sensations.
After Filipino news network ABS-CBN stumbled on the video, their foundation organised for the family to be relocated to a safer area and provide Dodong with livelihood training.
