Two PA-MOJA Kenyan primary schools competed in a regional music festival and came in second place. Uaso Nyiro primary school performed a modern singing and dance competition. The children looked beautiful in their music costumes donated by PA-MOJA through the Ol Pejeta Conservancy. The second place position earned them a position in the County Music Festival competition for primary schools in the county.
Endana primary school dressed in their maasai/samburu costumes and managed to be the best performers in both the folk song category, as well as sacred songs and traditional dances. 
They scored the highest marks in all the above performances as they looked attractive and their songs became the best among the competitors. These students could not hide their joy as they celebrated their big win in the regional competition.
In Kenya both primary and secondary schools compete in music, drama and sports competitions every year. These competitions are normally divided into the three terms in the Kenyan curriculum. Sports, Music and Drama competitions are done in first, second and third terms ‘semesters respectively. The competitions start at the Zonal level then proceeds to the Regional, Provincial and finally National level. The schools proceed to the next level on best performance from the previous level.
UPDATE: Endana Primary managed to proceed to the provincial level where they won first place and earned the right to compete at the national level in August. Stay tuned for another update on the Endana Primary performance at the National level competition.
