“You style your hair, file your nails and exercise to make yourself beautiful on the outside, and what do you do about the beauty that is in within you and cannot be seen by the naked eyes”? This is the main question that was posed to the young men and women who had filled the Nakuru Players Theater Auditorium to witness and grace this event. “Beauty is more than skin deep-it starts in the mind and with your thoughts, beauty lies in the good things you do, your nice behavior, your honesty and your self-confidence,” This is one of the core messages that was passed to the audience/students by a representative from REPACTED.
