“Pride of Kenya” Talent Show

It’s midterm and presidential election break, and Daraja girls have spent the week out of class but on campus, participating in other fun events. The last few days saw the students preparing – entirely on their own! – an elaborate talent show, whose theme was “The Pride of Kenya.” For more than four hours peers, local volunteers, and Daraja staff (and their families!) gathered to watch the girls perform a wide array of talents, including tribal dances, recitals of poems and speeches they’d written, hilarious skits, and singing. Since you couldn’t be there, we’ve decided to include videos of some of the highlights of the night here, so step into Daraja’s latest and greatest Talent Show!
