Mr. & Miss KAYO

First off... StAY Alive is an affiliate member of the Kenya Anglican Youth Organisation (KAYO) through the Diocese of Nairobi. We are proud to have influenced the growth of the group and be part of its resurgence into being relevant to todays young woman and man!!

The first Mr. & Miss KAYO event took place on Saturday 29th March 2008 and StAY Alive was ably represented in various categories. We had a lovely song presentation, a designer in the design category and indeed entries for both Mr. & Miss KAYO.

StAY Alive's biggest program in terms of reach and budget KATAA was also very well represented with a tent dedicated to providing info on the anti drugs campaign that StAY Alive runs.

While the PA would be blamed in messing up 'conviniently' during StAY Alives song presentation after such a good showing, there is no denying our singing group gave their all in their performance... not to forget they had just endured a ten hour singing marathon the night before during the Vigil!!

In the design category where we were represented by Mary Nyambura, her immaculate work on the woolen wall hangings scooped the 2nd runners up. Big ups Mary!!

The stage had earlier been set and the inaugural Mr. & Miss KAYO had been launched in pomp and glamour. StAY Alive was represented in this category by Mary Nyambura (yes!!) and Kenince Mbithi. This pair more than wakilishad StAY Alive and indeed the true creative, quick thinking and flambouyant spirit of StAY Alive was evident whenever they took the stage!!

After a superb day, it was time for the judges to give their verdict... and was it not great!!! The first Mr KAYO ever was declared to be Kenince Mbithi from the StAY Alive Fellowship.

Keep it right here, we shall be running an exclusive interview with the new Mr KAYO to hear his story as shall will also do with StAY Alives lady rep in the fete.
