  • Maasai Education Discovery

    Posted: August 6, 2008, 8:27 pm by Seinlife

    While roaming the world of YouTube , I found this video about Maasai girls, female circumcision and their education. It moved me so much that I had to share it in hopes that it will move you as well to take some action.

     
    It is a two part documentary, part one below..

     

    Part two of the Maasai tale.

     

    The organization that helped Sitatian Kaelo is mentioned in the video and is called the Maasai Education Discovery. They are involved in many aspects of community development but I was especially excited about their scholarship program for maasai girls. Please visit their website and give (even $5 goes along way). If you are unable to give via the website, call the (617) 426-1111 and give over the phone plus you will be talking directly with the founder, Ledama Olekina, who is just a breath of fresh air!

  • HIV/AIDS

    Posted: August 1, 2008, 4:53 pm by Seinlife

    This is a topic that is near and dear to my heart, I have 2 cousins who are HIV+, one of whom nearly lost his life to complications related it. So imagine my suprise when I read about child prostitution on the rise in Eldoret.

     

    Girls as young as 12 yrs old?
    adult males?
    and as if that is not bad enough, no protection?

     

    The town mayor has ordered a crack down on prostitution - perhaps he might want to start by arresting all the ‘Johns’ involved - what kind of nut job has sex with a 12 yr old? Since we live in a patriarchal society, I have a hunch that a crack down means arresting the girls and at the most letting the men off with a warning and who knows what happens to the girls when they land in a jail cell with no money to bail themselves out?

     

    I wish the article had more information on how the situation could be alleviated. Anyone know if there are local organizations working to change these girls lives? Or anyone have any kind of information pertaining to this Eldoret situation - please share.

     

    I leave you with a video of congolese musician, Fally Ipupa’s song “La Sida est la” (AIDS is here) which talks about the dangers of HIV and what we should do to protect ourselves.
