Dear sister,
I saw your post of greetings, I recently had MAASAI visitors to my school to discuss the lack of water, the project for '"quench the thrist", they were a lovely family from Kenya , to help prep my school/students I used a simple swahili book, "JAAMBO MEANS HELLO/ MOJO MEANS ONE" and for the group of North Philly/ " ghetto" kids

they took to it quickly,African from the motherland got a chance to interact with their cousins here! the Maasai familly and my students both interacted in a relaxed and familiar way ,The Maasai family spoke to my group about their life as ,parents ,students and a nation/tribe, their water /ecology concerns and we[ black teachers] sponsered a student , for the academic year.They danced and also taught the school how to to dance and say 'Harrambe, hershima ' etc.. , simple phrases, ,I know very little if nothng in swahili ,but our African children need to be expose to the language ,our languages and our people ! , welcome and thank you for giving me a chance to share.
