  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
