Meet the Maasai: An Interactive Cultural Experience
This is an unusual opportunity to learn first-hand about another culture and to support the nonprofit works of an organization that works hard to increase the educational opportunities of the Maasai (particularly for female children). Tribe members (who travel to this county only a couple of weeks per year) will lead a general discussion of Africa and compare and contrast a day in the life of a Maasai and that of an audience member. Natural storytellers, the Maasai will detail their rites of passage. The event may include learning a few words in Maasai or Swahili and the significance of traditional clothing. Demonstrations may include how to tie a shuka (on a volunteer) and the application of traditional red ocher warrior paint to the faces of those present. Vocalizations of animal calls and bow and arrow techniques will also be shared. Local crafts and jewelry will be shared. Words cannot accurately express how interesting this program is—suitable for all ages and especially helpful for seventh and tenth graders studying World History. Join us and feed your curiosity about the world!
