This will be a extra mile not only for me but also for you guys in my home area as well as in maasai land at large. This is a great achievement!. I don't know what more to say!

Quel premier pas!

Voici le message (que j'ai traduit) que nous venons juste de recevoir de notre ami Maasai au Kenya après réception de notre premier virement pour acheter les premiers livres scolaires :

"Oh mon Dieu!!! Je viens juste d'ouvrir mon WhatsApp et le premier message qui m'a surpris était le votre. Il s'agit du virement pour acheter des livres scolaires. Honnêtement, je ne m'y attendais pas et mes joues sont remplies de larmes de joie! C'est une étape de plus, pas seulement pour moi, mais aussi pour vous, dans ma région et dans tout le territoire Maasai. C'est un merveilleux exploit. Je ne sais pas quoi dire de plus! Que Dieu vous bénisse tous!"

Que puis-je dire de plus moi aussi ?

Sans doute un nouveau grand merci à Julien Foulquier, Céline Ponnelle, Bérengère Tabutin, Karine Valin, Nathalie Rossi, Emilie Faure, Séverine Louet, Aurélie Victoria-Le Coroller, Céline-Alex Mirebos, David Niry, Nicolas Dabène, Thomas Wateau, Lucia Teppati, Richard Roehl, Sophie, Catherine Benazra, et enfin Alex Larose qui ont été les premiers à participer activement à cette belle aventure !

Contrary to popular belief, technology is everywhere in Kenya and Tanzania. Maasai use cellphones in many ways which became a very common way to manage many things such as banking, various services, even to pay the rent. Much more of what we're doing here in France or any other europeean country. An interesting example of adaptive use of mobile telephony to the intrinsic needs of the Maasai community is when shepherds use text-messages to warn and prevent lion attacks.

Cellphones are still relatively new in some parts of Tanzania, but have drastically impacted the way farmers work.

"GARY HODGES CHARITY AUCTION RAISES A STAGGERING £133K FOR WILDLIFE!"
Wow !!! What else to say?

A sensational sell-out private view of Heart & Soul and a star-studded auction of work by highly sought-after wildlife artist Gary Hodges has raised a record £133,000 for the work of the Born Free Foundation and Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA).

To understand the purpose of one of our goals and the challenge of the education of maasai youth: today, maasai people consider the lions like foes for their livestock. They lead the livestock in the reserve where the cows may be attacked and kill by lions. Lions don't know make the difference between cows and gnus. As soon as a cow is killed by a lion or a lioness, maasai warriors are at war. They go to hunt the involved lion and kill it. you need to know that for one male lion killed this is in fact 6 or 7 lions killed because the new alpha of the goup kill all females' new born lions. The attached article show us that this usage is common in Kenya and Tanzania.

Maasai morans have speared a lion to death, only a day after Kenya Wildlife Service wardens gunned down another one.
