In April of 2023 I had the pleasure to accompany my son on a trip to Kenya. The trip was organized through his high school. A number of kids from his school, and a few of us parents, had an incredible experience that we will never forget.
We met the Maasai and spent every day with them. We learned about their culture, their medicine, and their history. The women shared their beadwork. The elders taught us about making shields, spears, and explained the many plants they use for medicine. The warriors taught us how to throw spears. And the kids loved to play soccer.
The trip was coordinated through My Chosen Vessels, a non-profit located here in San Diego. Over the years they have worked to provided safe water and sanitation to many of the Maasai.
This trip was focused around building an education center. Although we got a lot accomplished there is still much more to do.
Please visit WWW.MYCHOSENVESSELS.ORG to learn more about the Maasai and consider a donation to help provide water, education, and preserve their culture.
