Maasai Rafiki child project

Rose and Muhoro have a partnership woth a local Maasai tribe to promote and develop education for children in that tribe.  Yesterday we met the children and their homes.  The Maasai men may have many wives and each will build a separate house for her and her children.  Males aged 18 to 28 are the protectors of the community after this time they are allowed to marry.  Men also draw and paint original art to sell to raise money for the project.  All the women and men wore traditional clothes - they certainly like bright colours and jewellery.
