A class six pupil at Oserian Primary School, Naivasha, has emerged the winner in a global flower sleeve drawing competition. The 13 year-old Brian Maina shares the prize with a student in Switzerland for a drawing depicting the business chain of flowers under the Fair Trade standard that will be used as a flower sleeves design.
The competition was organised by Swiss supermarket The Coop and attracted more than 700 entries globally. Oserian Primary had entered 17 drawings.
A shy but happy Brian was overwhelmed when Oserian Development Company head of administration Kirimi Mpungu made the announcement a week ago at a parade mounted to break the news to an ecstatic crowd of pupils and staff from the flower farm.
