A week in Masaai Mara

I went on a IC trip with school two last week. We spent the whole week in Masaai Mara, helping 

the Maasai people. During this trip we did many activities but my favourite was building and tree planting. Those where also two of the most physical activities there were on the trip. We also carried water, did some beading and travel to some places around the area. When we went to build it was more pic axing and shoveling than building. The tree planting was quite similar. We pic axed and then we shoveled and planted the tree. In beading Mama Leah showed us how to bead on leather which was lots of fun. We also went to carry water. Me and my partner picked a 20 litre jar to carry 1.5 kilometers there and then back. Wen we traveled we were divided into groups and then as a family we had to bargain for supplies. After that we went to the girls high school where some of the students gave us a tour. The girls who helped organize the schedule their work day which ended up being 17 hours long and that really inspired me to help as much as I can. Their local hospital was the next stop. The hospital was build by only volunteers. The setting was very calm and controlled which I would say is a great thing. Theses are the major things we did during our trip except for the last day which was a walk, weapons training and then spending some time with the school which we were building.
