Story Moja Breaks A National Record

Storymoja and Start a Library took one more step towards breaking the world record of Most People Reading Aloud at the Same Time, from the same text and from Different Venues.

And 160,190 children from 422 schools in 12 counties read aloud on Friday the 30th of January to smash the previous National record! Speaking on their new record, the organizers said “We thank teachers, parents, reading ambassadors and the many volunteers who helped make this happen.”

Adding that “Storymoja’s vision is to get ‘A Book in Every Hand.’ Our latest initiative is Careerpedia – an encyclopedia full of down-to earth descriptions and interviews with professionals working in 120 careers. Careerpedia will also roll out a formal mentorship network that invites and trains mentors to help students plan their future.  “
Careerpedia will be launched at their inaugural Storymoja Festival in Nakuru on Thursday 28th to Saturday 30th May 2015, at the Kenya National Library Service Nakuru Branch.
