Maasae Girls' School

On Saturday Nashesha and I went to spend the night with missionary friends from Bellevue, Marv and Jean. They are teachers at the Maasae Girls' School, a boarding school for girls from the traditionally nomadic Maasai tribe. When the school began (10 yrs ago or so), there were only 24 Maasai girls in secondary school in the whole country! It was a fun adventure for Nashesha and I to do together. In the morning we worshipped together with the girls in their outdoor chapel, the roof of which is shaped like a Maasai shield. The pastor is a Maasai who graduated from the school and has now returned as chaplain.

On the way back we stopped for lunch at the "Snake Park", sort of a hotel/restaurant/zoo in one. It was feeding time for the snakes so we got to watch various snakes eating live chicks whole!! We returned to Arusha late Sunday evening, and spent the rest of the day dancing, riding bikes, and watching part of Charlotte's Web on Shesha's DVD player that we plugged in outside.
