As usual, the visit from Sabore Ole Oyie, the Maasai warrior and elder from Kenya was a HUGE hit with the 5th graders. At the end of the talk, the students stood and held up their art projects that they did based on the Maasai women of the tribe. Therese and Sabore loved them so much, that they asked the 5th graders if they could have these artworks as well to take back to Kenya to hang in the new preschool that they are building in Sabore's village this year. What a tremendous honor for not just one but TWO St. Frances Cabrini classes to have their artworks across the world hanging in a school in Kenya. The students were so excited!!!
You will hear more from Mrs. Behrens and I in the near future about ways that we would like to raise money for Sabore's organization (
www.saboreswell.org). I am in talks with Therese about possible raising enough money to adopt a classroom in the new preschool. So much more on this to come!
In the meantime, here are some pictures and a video from Sabore's visit:
