I had a short visit to the Samburu people in the Maralal region of Kenya.
 |
| Near Marsabit, Kenya. Can you see the zebras under the shade of the trees? |

| Having a drink of mursik (curdled milk made in a calabash).with lunch. |
Our goal was to see the need for development in an area where less than 2% of the population receives an education. This is a place where even the Mayor of the town we visited is starting grade one!
This region is really lacking in development though I found countless NGOs in the county.
 |
| The bulletin board at the lodge is full of information for the traveller. |
My assessment of the county is that it needs prayers, schools and water.
One good thing I did see is that someone started a greenhouse in the region. That was a happy moment for me when I saw the greenhouse.
 |
| The greenhouse. |

| In pastoral communities you see goats everywhere. These ones are grazing by the water tanks which are located near the greenhouse. | . |
 |
| It's great to see tomatos growing here! |
 |
| Here I am with with my Samburu guide. |
Enjoy the pics and please pray for these dear people.
