The 2009 Children of Kibera Foundation Drama and Music Festival was held at
September 17th to September 19th. More than 200 students from a dozen secondary schools in Kibera performed at the festival, a first of its kind organized to celebrate the talents of young people in Kibera's under-resourced secondary schools. The festival theme was "Positive Living in Kibera," a theme that the participants brought to life in different categories of solo and group poetry recitations, dramatized narrations, songs and dances. Visit our facebook fanpage for a full album of photos from the three days of competition. Winners at the festival in the different categories received certificates, textbook vouchers, and trophies as well as a laptop for the overall top school. Hundreds of spectators turned up Saturday to watch the finals concert performances, which had to be staged outside to accommodate the large crowd. The local radio station Pamoja FM carried live broadcasts of several performances over the three days of competition, spreading the messages and conveying the artistic talents of Kibera youth to the more than two million people in the listenership area.
