Exhibitors who displayed their products at tables informed their potential customers about their products. The wine and chocolate festival offered a variety and different taste for customers who were curious about the exhibition. When you arrive at the shopping mall you are welcomed by exhibitors who have strategically placed their tables as they patiently wait for someone to approach them.I could tell that Kenya has a market for wine by the number of people who did a wine tasting at the tables.I made eye contact with a lady who had bottles of wine on her table. As I approached her, she was smiling.I had a feeling that I will learn something new. The lady told me that she has attended wine classes in South Africa and has 5 years of experience in sales and marketing

NAIROBI - Beth Warugura , the founder of  girl aid foundation, created awareness about  the taboos associated with menstruation and lack of sanitary towels by asking willing participants to sign on a wall at Yaya Centre. Girl aid foundation was founded in 2016 after getting enough funding and the required permits from the government.The  aim of the foundation is to keep girls in school by increasing their  attendance during their menstruation period and reducing the shame that is associated with it. I met Waruguru on a hot Wednesday afternoon.She spoke about her project with so much hope for the future. She also shared  what inspired her to start the foundation and why she is campaigning for the girl child.
