LAUGH INDUSTRY PROVIDES THE ULTIMATE KIDS EXPERIENCE

Thousands of children and parents alike were treated to exciting games and entertainment as they filled the Carnivore Grounds for the August edition of the Zuku Kids Festival.

Dubbed "the Ultimate Kids Experience" the event which was organized by Laugh industry is the seventh edition which aimed to celebrate musical talent among the children who attended the event.

There were various fun and learning activities, such as Blue Band art competitions, face painting, essay writing, radio & TV talent search and Mini Olympics.

Speaking during the event, Zuku Triple Play Managing Director Kamande Muiruri said the decision to sponsor the event was informed by the need to bring family together.

"Our products are pegged on family values and have become popular amongst the household. It is due to this factor that we want them to get first hand experience on our product offering," said Kamande.

This week, Zuku Triple Play unveiled new packages dubbed Basic TV/R1 Internet, Premium/R8 and Premium/R20, which currently are the most affordable broadband offerings in the market.

On her part, Caroline Mwangi, Category Manager, Spreads East and Southern Africa at Unilever ESA felt proud to be associated with the event terming it as a positive step in growing great children.

Commenting about the event, Laugh Industry CEO Dan "Churchill" Ndambuki emphasized the importance of nurturing talent in children in their formative years as this boosts their self confidence.

"When a child believes in their talent, as parents we should encourage the same, you never know, this could be the doors that open opportunities to a successful future," said Dan.

Children and parents alike reeled in laughter as great comedians as Eric Omondi, Ayeiiiyah! Mc Jessy, Chipukeezy, Jalang'o kept the crowds in high spirits with their best dose of comic medicine.
