Normally, the CFSIA arranges for us to do a home stay with the Maasau in Kenya. However, since we were not going to Kenya, the amazing coordinators for the program found partnership in Tanzania that let partake in the amazing experience of living (albeit for on evening and morning) with a Maasai family for one day. Upon our arrival, we were greeted with every family that was involved with this project, and it was quite a site. The children were in their formal dress with red ochre painted on their faces, and the women and men were dressed in their beautiful traditional garb. We were treated to dancing by everybody while we were there, and we tired to partake in them, though I must say the guys from CFSIA could not jump as high as the Maasai!
I must say that this was one of the most warm welcomes we received. The kindness and hospitality was amazing, and something I know we will always remember.
