Jambo our friends!
Well we had another fabulous day on Safaris.
Today we saw some lion cubs that were less than a month old. They played and had fun about 15 feet from our van. They were a joy!
This afternoon we had another experience of a lifetime. We visited a real Samburu villiage outside of the reserve. We were greeted by the chief. The women greeted us with a tribal dance. We danced with them and talked with them and had a moment to enjoy their children with them. For a people who have nothing, they showed us a great deal of joy. We dropped off some school supplies for their new school and we learned a great deal about their lives and their day to day struggles with survival amid a 2 year drought. We both were moved by their happy children who showed a great deal of interest in us.
We are moving on tomorrow. Hopefully they have internet access as well.
Talk soon!
Julie & Karl

Amazing!
I cannot wait to see the photos -- especially of the village. I remember our visit to South Africa and meeting a young woman in the Cultural Village and discussing the struggles she faces. I realized that the major difference b/w her life and mine was where we were born. Made me feel so fortunate. Please keep the "blogs" coming. BTW - what is a blog? XO Sharon
