Jacob Kipaa, a local Massai recently returned home from completing his Masters Degree in China for two years. He is one of the lucky students who are sponsored by the Amboseli Trust for Elephants. The project sponsored him through his Undergraduate Degree at Nairobi University here in Kenya before travelling to China.

This ATE initiative which mostly focuses on young and promising maasai girls aims at educating the Maasai. During the ceremony many things were said on the importance of education where community leaders encouraged parents to take their children to school. The Maasai attitude towards education is changing and it was really fascinating to see the big crowd coming together to support such a worthy cause.

I was proud to represent ATE and show encouragement to all the women.
