They challenged their counterparts to&#8217; eat more ugali&#8217; and come back prepared next year as they weren&#8217;t challenging enough.<\/p>\n<p>By midday, everyone had arrived and was having fun with a slight downpour which forced<br \/>\nstudents to continue with the fun indoors especially swimming which was warmed up. \u201cPlanning<br \/>\nthe event had been a bit hectic but we are glad the event successfully happened and we hope<br \/>\nbetter plans for the future fun day event,&#8221; said Joel the poet, a valley road student.<\/p>\n<p>In yet another interview with the Sec-Gen, he added that students should all expect great plans<br \/>\nfrom DUSA and clearly indicated the following, \u201cWe have a big event in February come next<br \/>\nyear, Student of Excellence Award (SOEA) and also have Mr. and Mrs. Daystar chosen\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>It was indeed a job well done and especially from everyone who participated in the event<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Lewis Njeri (gichunjilewis2@gmail.com) Thumbnail Photo Courtesy of Seth Wambui\u00a0 Daystar University Student Association (DUSA) through the office of the Secretary-General organized a fun day event held at Stedmark gardens and recreational center in Karen on November 20.
