Pictured above are classroom sceens at the Maasai School.  The school meets in an old church building with dirt floors and shares one teacher. (Note: there are two groups of students and one teacher)  The rent from the apartments should help the school improve their physical environment and upgrade their education.The goat herd was started with one or two goats to help with the feeding program.  The herd has grown to over one hundred goats and is a source of income for the school.
