For the past year, the Children of Kibera Foundation has been hard at work planning the second annual Kibera Music Festival that took place this past Friday and Saturday. With thirteen secondary schools participating, ten local organizations tabling, over 300 in attendance on Friday and 500 on Saturday, the festival was deemed a success.
The music festival was the last chapter of the End the Violence against Children at Home and at School campaign. Secondary schools were invited to perform acts related to the festival's theme in four different categories: Drama, Song and Dance, Solo Verse and Choral Verse. All thirteen schools participating were rewarded with donated books and vouchers, as well as certificates of participation. Winners in each category were also given additional vouchers and trophies.
Besides the students, many local artists and organizations came out to preform, including the Kibera Preforming Arts, JackyZebraz and the Conquerors. Even a group of Red Rose students preformed a traditional dance and a choreography to 'Waka Waka'. Groups were also invited to pass out information about their organizations. Carolina for Kibera, another NGO, conducted HIV testing for free!
All entries to the poster contest held in August were hung up, adding an art portion to the festival.
