Greetings from Nairobi:

We've been interviewing senior Maasai elders and grandmothers all through December and, at the same time, preparing for the classroom recording sessions in January. The first Maasai school visit in Sekanani is scheduled for January 7th and will be online for global classroom participation the next day, January 8th. We anticipate spending ten days recording at a minimum of three different Maasai schools, spending a few days at each to encourage a dialogue between Maasai students and other cultures. All sessions will be archived on the Field Journal for review or for viewing missed sessions.

Please plan ahead and participate early by sending your questions to students, teachers, or the elders by email at maaproject@aol.com or directly through the Contact Us form page on this site. We will try to respond to your questions within 24 hours. And please take some snapshots of your class working on this project for our final document. Photos can also be sent to maaproject@aol.com.

Until January 7th, we wish you all the best for the holidays and a Happy New Year!
