Masai children used to attend school under a tree near their village. However, Africa Yoga Project supports communities where they provide outreach in ways beyond teaching yoga. They are in the process of building toilet facilities for an orphanage and have built four schools so far. One of these schools is at the Masai village we visited. It was midday when we arrived so the children were in school (elementary school aged in the US) yet as we walked towards the school they were all standing outside waiting to greet us. After meeting one of their teachers they welcomed us by signing songs they learned in school. My favorite was "head, shoulders, knees and toes." It will be fun to show students that I teach a connection they have with Kenyan children across the globe.

After they finished singing we all practiced yoga together and we gave them some of the books and supplies that we brought.
