The little Maasai school at Endonyiosidai.

In 2007 the Maasai school had room for only 25 children

                               The Moses Project Charity connects young people and encourages them to find their voice.
       
Today the charity has 10 board members

For a Welshman, having the opportunity to work abroad with the IAAF [International Association of Athletics Federations] in 2005 was a great opportunity  - but only if you make the effort to travel with your eyes wide open.
 
To meet and spend time with Ole Moses Kipalish and his family in the small rural community of Endonyiosidai was a humbling and exciting time. I saw Maasai life. Unchanged for who knows how long, yet welcoming a stranger as a friend and asking nothing of me. And that is why they have been in my heart and in my mind since the minute I stepped on the plane at Nairobi to return to Wales. 

Moses has the same hopes and dreams for his children, as I do for mine. We have so many opportunities here, that we sometimes cant see the wood for the trees! If we can get the children of our communities to treat each other as friends, then we may see some amazing results born out of those friendships.

This blog is an annual update on the progress of The Moses Charity. 
Thanks for taking a look.

The hut interior is a challenging learning environment - which Moses overcomes..... daily.
                                The Ladies of Endonyiosidai. What would they do without them. Eh?

Endonyio means hill
Sidai means beautiful
Endonyiosidai translates to Brynhyfryd and Beautiful Hill.
Thanks to Porkx, a mate in the British Army - it couldn't have begun without you.
