Exciting Rewards for Winners of Schools Green Initiative Challenge Phase I

The students enjoyed an opportunity to taste the Madafu (fresh coconut juice) and kashiri (cassava crisps) from one corner of the public recreational facility where sweating and discomfort is alleviated by the fresh breeze from the Indian Ocean.

Their itinerary also included the Bamburi Nature Trail commonly known as the Butterfly Pavilion, which summed up the environment trip. The pavilion is home to more than 16 species of butterflies and students got to see the breeding house.

The second runners up, Mwea Primary School, Embu, were treated to a trip to the Olkaria Geothermal power plant, capped with a visit to KenGen’s Olkaria Geothermal Spa, Naivasha, where they enjoyed the warm therapeutic waters of the swimming pool.
