KarenSchrey.blogspot.com: The Best News!!!
http://karenschrey.blogspot.com/2013/11/the-best-news.html
Saturday, November 16, 2013. We partnered with the Maasai of Makuyuni in Tanzania to build Nashipay Primary School and the first group of kindergarten students started on July 1, 2013. I just learned today that they are doing exceptionally well! According to the superintendent of schools, the children are more advanced than children of similar age in the public system. That made my heart sing! When we went shopping for textbooks and workbooks in May, we bought one workbook per child and one textbook for ...

Monday, April 29, 2013. Water, a human right? I was looking at the receipts I received for the construction of the foundation and it struck me that water was close to 10% of the cost. Do we even consider that as an expense when we are building something here? Don't we just turn on the tap and use as much as we want? We recently did a renovation and I don't remember ever paying for water! Thursday, April 18, 2013. One day as we were driving along, he stopped the vehicle and got out and picked what looked ...

KarenSchrey.blogspot.com: Good News for the Mamas!
http://karenschrey.blogspot.com/2013/10/good-news-for-mamas.html
Tuesday, October 22, 2013. Good News for the Mamas! The Mamas work hard! I can see it on their faces when I look at some of the pictures we took. They have a hard life. Hauling water for kilometres twice a day, procuring food for their children on a daily basis, rounding up firewood to cook the food, building and repairing their bomas (huts), raising their children and so much more.

Wednesday, May 29, 2013. Meeting our Maasai Family. I told him not to let it go to his head! I was given a beautiful necklace with my new Maasai name on it, Nagaloi, which means "caretaker". The Most Special Day. Today we get to go to the school. The whole village gathered to proudly show us what they have accomplished and no wonder they are proud! There are 9000 bricks in this school, each one made one at a time, by hand, on the brick maker we bought for them in January, and dried in the sun! The villag...

Thursday, March 28, 2013. A Visit With the "Mamas". Our visit to the "Mamas" (my post 02/23/2012) was one of the highlights of our trip in 2012 and I'm sure looking forward to another visit! Last time we bought lots of their jewelry, brought it back, and sold it on Andi's online store, JamboCreations. Everything we made was used to help the Mamas and their children through the building of Nashipay Kindergarten, which is under construction as I write this. Sunday, March 24, 2013.

Wednesday, February 29, 2012. The seed is planted. Makuyuni Primary School Classroom. What can I do? How can I help? How do these kids ever get ahead in life?

Samwel accepts the Schrey's gifts. Monday, February 27, 2012. We knew that the beautiful pieces we saw would be marketable, but as we took a closer look we coul...

Wednesday, June 12, 2013. When It's Me or the Lion? We learned how to kill a lion! It was interesting to process that, since I am totally against killing anything. I am one of those people who will capture a bug and put it outside rather than squash it. But what if I had to make a choice; the lion or me! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Friday, March 16, 2012. Visit to a Boma. A Boma is defined as an enclosure and for sure that's what it is. The Maasai live in bomas just like this one. Notice the sharp poles that surround the enclosure. This "fence" is made from special trees with sharp thorns to prevent animals from coming into the living areas. One day Clamian asked us if we wanted to visit his Uncle's Boma. Of course we did! We knew the boma was at the foot of a distant hill - it was pretty easy to keep the target in site. She was so...
