Eve Sisters wow the boys

Standard Group’s Eve Sisters had their debut mission on Sunday February 26 in a boy’s school, Alliance High School. It was a day of inspiration and fun. NJOKI CHEGE was there.

Rarely do high school students get to see their favourite celebrities and inspirational role models gathered in their school to inspire and motivate them on one day.

But Alliance High School had this once in a lifetime opportunity last Sunday when Standard Group’s Eve Sisters teamed up with KTN, Radio Maisha and the Aspire crew for some quality time with the boys.

Comedian Jalang’o spoke of how resilience and persistence have got him where he is today inspite of his humble beginnings.

He began his pep talk in a rather interesting manner, stating his ‘4151’ school number and his dorm number, 15A, which caused a stir among the boys who related to the numbers.

"You are the best of the best. Never forget that. But, you must realise that even that is not enough. You have to work hard to move from being good to being great," Sitati said.

He urged the students not to let the opportunity they have at Alliance slip by.

"Just because you are at Alliance doesn’t mean you will get to where to want. Alliance is the great enabler, the key to achieving what you want to achieve in life," he said.

KTN Sports anchor Sadique Shabban inspired the students to use their talents, gifts and unique abilities to achieve their dreams.

Opportunities

A comedian and an actor as well, Sadique is a well-rounded mentor, and he did not disappoint. Between cracking up the boys with his sporty jokes and comments, he shared his story as a young Kenyatta University student who discovered his emceeing and acting abilities by sheer accident.

"I believe you can be anything you want to be in this life, if you quit sitting on the talents you have not yet exploited and take advantage of every opportunity that comes your way," Sadique said.

The event was not without its entertainment breaks as Kenya’s top comedians Eric Omondi and Jalango cracked up the crowd with their fresh and witty jokes.

Pulse Editor, Charles (CEO) Otieno, gave a refreshing talk to the boys about responsible entertainment. Quoting former British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill, CEO advised the boys on taking responsibility for their greatness.

"Sir Winston Churchill once said, "For every greatness, you must take responsibility". You must know exactly what you want, go for it, and when you achieve that greatness, be responsible," CEO said.

The event ended on a high note, with a hyped dancing competition between representatives of each class.

The two runners up (Form 2 rep and Form 3 rep) walked away with goodie bags from G-Pange and the winners (Form 1 rep and Form 4 rep) walked away with the latest book from Footprints Press, Life’s Journeys, worth Sh7,000.
