2008 Mixing cement at high altitude 

Mixing cement and laying bricks at high altitude on the Maasai Mara in Kenya was seriously hard labour according to the volunteers from The Moses Project who spend the summer assisting the Maasai craftsmen. Sleeping rough in a tin shed they lived the Maasai way of life, and saw the first stone classroom of 6 built to accomodate the huge number of children desperate to attend school. Ole Moses Kipaliash of the Moses Project was keen to point out that whilst there was only room 25 children at one time in the old school hut - now we have planned a school for up to 300. It will be built in traditional Maasai style, in stone, and will be cool in summer and warm in winter. The Moses Project plan to provide a daily hot lunch for all the pupils, and provide over 300 fuel efficient stoves for the outlying community.
