na itwa nostilja sigma and i am pleased to find a forum with other people interested in subjects i find most important.
i hope to engage in many interesting debates and exchange ideas. i have always been a thinking person, and most of my thoughts revolve around how the world works and through that how it affects me and my perception of the world.
just out of curiousity how many people know or speak some swahili?

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.
