Mini Masaai

Andrew recently celebrated his birthday here in Tanzania. Esther + Ben had great fun planning and helping with decorating his cake -and we all had a great surprise when the candle I bought at a local shop lit up wildly and set off our fire alarm with its smoke!! Good to know our smoke detector works effectively...
Shopping for suitable gifts is rather a challenge in Dodoma, so we opted to give Andrew a birthday present with a Masaai flavour- a reminder of the MAF work he enjoys each month up in Northern Tanzania with the Masaai people. At the time of photo-taking, Andrew was unavailable for posing with his red "shuka", his Masaai stick and his "lion-club", so some willing volunteers stepped in as Mini-Masaai for the photo shoot to model Andrew's birthday gifts:

    I can imagine the Masaai warriors and wives would have enjoyed seeing your willing volunteers and had a hearty laugh if they are like the Karamajong in Uganda.Esther and Ben seem to enjoy it too.Interesting reactions from Andrew Esther and Ben with the noise of the smoke alarm and the birthday candle.Don't think I've ever seen andrew laugh so much.
