Jon and I are working non-stop to prepare our bags, house and selfs for the trip to Kenya to spend time with our Maasai friends and work on future projects.
It is strange to sit here in Washington State in pouring rain and realize that we will be in serious drought conditions when we get to the Rift Valley.
For those of you new to this blog, you can see by the website http://www.maasaiwomen.org/ that we are going on an outreach project to provide educational opportunities for the women.
We will continue our work with girls going to secondary boarding schools.
The MWEEP Kenya women have asked for more education from Project Baobab who offer the Entrepreneurial Skills and Life Skills Class.
NEW :
- work to have Project Baobab train trainers and mentors, & give seminars in 2010
- we will look for ways to offer help to gain education beyond the secondary level
- we will be offering a class to the MWEEP members and other
women in the community ( up to 20 funded) to learn how to use solar cookers, they will be able to take a cooker home -- this is a class the women have said they want to take.
We feel blessed that we again have the opportunity to spend time with these wonderful people. We are eager to hear more stories about how their businesses are doing, the difference the Life Skills have made for them and what the girls are wishing for more education.
We will try to add to this blog as the internet opportunities arise.
