In an awe-inspiring display of talent and determination, learners from St. Francis School for the Visually Impaired in West Pokot have proved that musical talent has no bounds.
As they advanced to the regional competition, they faced talented competitors from various schools across the Rift Valley region at Maasai Mara University in Narok County, where the music festivals were held.
Despite the tough competition, the students performance and the emotional depth of their music left an indelible mark, propelling them to clinch the top position and earn their spot at the highly coveted national stage.
Jamin Ndibile, their trainer, expressed satisfaction and joy at his students’ stellar performance and their ability to overcome challenges through music.
“The school is committed to nurturing the talents of all students, regardless of their physical limitations. This achievement serves as a testament to the potential that lies within each individual,” Ndibile emphasised.
Judges unanimously declared St. Francis School as the overall winners in their category.
Teresa Moseti, a teacher, said St. Francis has been a home of champions, adding that other learners from the institution had previously participated in international Paralympic championships in France and Morocco.
