Amboseli K-1
Hello,
Are these children brave or what? They are so eager to learn. Their classroom is a dusty one roomed class. This is the manyatta that is home to around 200 maasai men, women and children. The nearest public school is 10 km or 7.5 miles away. If these children want an education beyond grade 1, then they have to walk through the national park to the school! This is the national park where tourists are not allowed to get out from the safari tour vans!
The community wants to add two classes (grades 2-3). This will allow the children to grow older so that they can walk the long trip in search of knowledge.
