Today is Thursday and we have left Migori to travel first to the Maasi village and then to Mara Serena Safari lodge. It's about 3 hours away from Migori. We traveled thru rural areas and saw lots of kids walking to school. The poverty here is unbelievable. My new friend Mark from Tenwek hospital tells me there are two kinds of poverty. First there is poverty and then there is absolute poverty where you are just tumbling along each day wondering where your food is going to come from. No pictures along the way. At Maasi village, we danced sang and learned about the Maasi people. Wow! Incredible! Woman build the homes out of dung and mud. The animals spend the night in the house in the living room so they won't get eaten by predators. They have dozens of chickens but they don't eat them. They only have them so they know what time it it! A beautiful tribe!
