THE D-DAY!!!

The day was graced with an amazing weather, not cold not hot, just right for such a day.
Like any other graduation there were rehearsals but this ones were different because there were rehearsals for the performances for the day,one could notice the small groups of medialabers mixed with course 1's practicing for different items.But that was after the course 1's had rehearsed for their presentations.
The day was here and people were early.the course1's ,or rather the form one's as they called themselves,with tension all over their faces ,the staff,with the help of medialabers ,running up and down to ensure all was in place and the guests streaming in place and the guests streaming in.
As the people were punctual the event started early,or rather on time.It started with prayers from one of the students then followed welcoming by the M.C ;and after a piece by "the band ".The song was about troubles especially us the less fortunate undergo back in our localities but God sees us through.What amazing music for sure Nairobits has talent.
Then the presentations begun one after the other,each so amazingly unique from the other.Like the other prior presentations ,the theme was to create an imaginary music shop and market it through the posters and C.D covers they made,not forgetting the business cards they made for themselves as the founders /managers of their music shops.
Music genres ranged fro benga,Lingala,jazz,soul,hiphop,reggae and raggah.The presentations were amazing.Below are a few of the posters and music C.D covers;

After a few presentations another group was given the chance to entertain the guests present with a play about what goes on in families. There was another performance in between the presentations, a poem ‘The Woman of Africa’.
After the presentations roseirene,the training coordinator gave a short speech and appreciated them for their nice work of taking the graduates through the course.ther were followed by a performance from one of the course 1's who closed the day in style,but of course the event wouldn't end without prayers which were led by one of the parents .After the vents everyone gathered for some snacks and drinks together before the Nairobits family went for lunch at the Bazaar and later for a picnic at Mamba village and the fun begun a fresh.
It took a while to get the means to the venue but we finally got there.We started with a few games and after a while got to the gift session. We usually buy gifts which are collected together and labelled with numbers.The gifts are then given to individuals with rregard to the numbers they correspond with.It gets interesting when the gifts are unwrapped and you have to show everyone what you got.gifts range from toothbrushes,shaving razors, cups dolls and all.It is such a sight to behold.
We were then divided to two groups to go and play more games;which were quite interesting.It started to get dark and we went to have some snacks before dancing to tunes.We were then good to go.
On the way to the bus stop one would tell the tension build up as the course 1's had began thinking of whether or not they will make it.If you missed this,you missed out.
