For those in the area, here's an amazing documentary about the Maasai and
their efforts to improve education in southern Kenya in a way that blends
with their customs and traditions.

There's a brief discussion of the potential role for OLPC (as we have a
number of opportunities coming up in Kenya).

Regards,
SJ
