Even as we toured this impoverished Boma (family dwelling) of the Maasai people, we saw kids that were so happy to see us and get their picture taken. This one boy photobombed almost every picture I tried to take with the biggest happiest smile of any child you can imagine. When I showed him his picture on the back of the camera, he nearly fell over with laughter and joy. Kids really remind us how simple human emotions can be. www.rajguptaphotography.com
These Maasai women are performing a dance to welcome us to their arts and crafts market. Such pride, joy, and talent in their faces and performance. The Maasai women have started their own cooperative where they produce arts and crafts and sell them to have their own spending money for home and children. This has empowered the women to become more self-reliant. As has been seen in many countries, a little extra money and control given to the women in a community produces multiples of benefit for the community as a whole.
