Days before the Maasai homestay

On Tuesday we arrived at our campsite near the Maasai homestay. On Wednesday, we learned what it was like to be both a Maasai women and a Maasai man. The women do pretty much everything. All the men do is herd animals and sit around. The homestays were sponsored by the pastoral women's council. The pastoral women's council is a non-governmental organization that focuses on educating women, and giving them more authority to control their lives. That night we were taught some Maasai words that would be useful during the homestay. I didn't remember any of the words though.
