A merry day of fun activities including conservation talks, edutainment sessions, tree planting, and quiz sessions, were organized to enrich students' understanding of wildlife conservation on February 14. ANAW, Elsamere Education Centre, and the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) Naivasha team, Nakuru County, came together to spread love and conservation education to the teachers and learners of Kongoni Primary School.

In anticipation of World Wildlife Day celebrations, the conservation outreach team extended invitations to the pupils of Kongoni and Mvuke Primary Schools to participate in an essay writing competition. The competition, spanning five categories - Environment, Wildlife, Personal Experience, Folk Stories, and Drawing, aimed at fostering creativity and awareness among the younger generation about the importance of wildlife conservation.

The team was welcomed by the school board chair, deputy principal and teachers. An engaging session that comprised of pupils and teachers was held to tackle matters conservation.
