Last Friday, Nancy, a Standard Five pupil at Nyamanche Primary School in Kuria East was doing chores at home when her aunt arrived carrying a shuka, traditional cap, and assorted jewellery.

Some neighbours were arranging seats in the compound and cleaning utensils when she heard her aunt whisper that everything was ready for her (Nancy’s) day.
