Maasai Fair




On Friday, schools were closed for a special fair that the local Maasai villages held.  There were many people selling different traditional foods, jewelry, music and other items.  There were fun things for the kids like face painting and rides on 4-wheelers. The local schools and men’s teams held soccer and volleyball tournaments that carried on through Saturday.  There were also clubs from the schools that showed off their traditional Maasai singing and dancing, which was wonderful. Luis helped to invite Dominic to display his biogas system at the fair and many interested people came to see a demonstration and expressed interest in the system.  Many people from the community are waiting to see how Luis’ system works out.  Last night we connected it and cooked with the gas in his home! I got to meet many people from the community and also some other volunteers who are here working with other organizations in the schools and the local medical dispensary.
