As we left Arusha we had the opportunity to visit a Maasai boma (village). Nessikar Miagre is a 2001 graduate of the Maasae Girls school, and she took us to her home. It was humbling, amazing, and altogether a great way to conclude the "mission" part of our time.

It's great that you got to a Bomba. It helps to understand where the MGLSS girls start from.
ReplyDeleteThat's the same village where I met the guy on the bike with the live chicken tied to the handlebars.
