Fact finding trip means learning new Maasai skills

Self funded volunteers of The Moses Project arrived in Endonyiosidai, a small rural community in the Maasai Mara area of  Kenya unsure of what they would find. First and foremost the welcome they received was humbling, and the friendships made during the two week trip will last a life time. Moses and his friends showed the Welsh volunteers how they live, how they work, how they survive the challenging climate and how they hope to provide an education fit for their children. Translation went from Maasai to Swahili to English to Welsh, whilst daily chores were undertaken, tea was drunk. Stories of myths and legends were shared at the camp fire, and hopes and dreams as well as plans were established of how we could work together in order to benefit BOTH the Welsh and Maasai children. We now look forward to putting plans into action.
Thanks to Iwan Llion of LansecureIT for sponsoring the trip and Liza Webb for 'just doing it' for the Moses Project.
