I have exchanged a series of emails with Joseph Ole Tipanko, the outreach director of the Maasai Good Salvage Outreach Organization. In my first email I introduced myself and the goals of our group. I also briefly described some of our ideas including the walk-a-thon and selling Maasai crafted beads. Joseph was very thankful for our offer of assistance and supportive of the ideas we had formulated.
Joseph sent us some literature on the Maasai in a follow up email. This detailed the plight of the Maasai, how contributions help their community and the projects and goals the MAGSA-Outreach Org. is currently working on. We plan on printing out a bunch of these pampheletes and distrubuting them in an effort to raise awareness.
I have also discussed obtaining some Maasai beadwork from Joseph's community but our plans on this are still pending, hopefully we will know more soon.
