On Saturday (November 27th) Brian and I loaded up the car with school supplies and drove out to Amboseli National Park. We had met members of a Maasai community when we vacationed in the park in October, and Brian has been corresponding since then with Daniel, a teacher who runs the community school. We are really excited about the relationship and partnership that is developing between Freedom Through Learning and this particular school. There are some longer-term plans to assist with teacher training and organizing the school curriculum, and the Maasai parents are going to contribute goods that can be sold to help fund future shipments (either to their community or to other schools). We spent three hours chatting with Daniel and Supok (the village leader) on Saturday before we delivered the first batch of supplies for the school. It was a wonderful and fascinating day and God seemed to "show up" at every turn. What a blessing.
