Kijabe based Rift Valley Academy treated pupils from Joy Town Primary School to a surprise musical gift on Saturday. The pupils enjoyed two hours music performance by the band which performed old time classics as well as contemporary gospel music.

Led by their Band Director Jason Lendes the band was there for their Charity tour whose aim is celebrating the talented band members as well as sharing their music  and evangelizing with pupils from schools such as Joy Town Primary and neighboring communities.

Speaking exclusively to Thika Town Today, the band director Jason Lendes expressed his gratitude to the Joy Town Community for giving them a chance to put a smile on the pupils faces.

"I am so excited that I came here today, with the Rift Valley Academy Band we have been able to put a smile on the faces of these kids who are more often than  not forget by society, its my humble appeal to the larger Thika Community to be paying a visit once in a while and spend time with them," he said.

Also present during the two hour long performance was Murang'a based Can Do Kids-Director Karanja Mburu who called upon various stakeholders within Non Governmental Organisations to work towards giving back to the society through such initiatives such as the visit by Rift Valley Academy band.

"Even though I hail from neighbouring Murang'a County it is through such partnerships and networking that my organisation managed to bring this band to Joy Town Primary School Thika, it is my hope that both state and non state actors can synergise and work towards uplifting the marginalised in society," he further emphasized.
