It had a sign saying "Masai school", with a blackboard and some numbers, but I'll bet it was just to keep the kids away when the tourists were around | | A demonstration of fire-making |

All the books were donations from the United States (for instance, the Magic Treehouse series, etc). I wonder if the children are interested in reading books that took place in a setting so utterly unlike theirs |
