2. Masai background The Masai Tribe is very popular around the world because they live like traditional Kenyans have for the last 1000’s of years. Masai men, also known as Morons, travel around looking for green pastures for their herds. The women mostly work at home to raise the children. They are very poor, and what did they do wrong to not have the life we live?

3.  Education is the best and easiest path to success and to lift the poor out of poverty  Kids in Kenya most of the time don’t get to go to school until they are ten or eleven (if at all)  Girls have a bigger disadvantage because they have to do their chores before they go to school  If only one kid in the family goes to school, the boys get first priority on school supplies and uniforms  What is the difference between boys and girls? Did girls do something wrong? Please donate to help create a new school for girls and boys… We are all equal, aren’t we?

4.  Ed Colina wants early childhood to be first priority in his foundation  The Ed Colina Foundation is supporting three preschools and reading programs  Two of Ed’s preschools that he helped have grown to be independent  Ed plans to create another school and help feed hungry child lunch everyday so that kids won’t have to walk far

5. Ed met up with the local chief and the owner of an Eluaai church campus, and the Eluaai people presented Ed with a survey of the little children that need to go to school

7.  They deserve the same treatment as us (They should have education, food, clean water, nicer houses, and the same high standard life we do)  All they need is $2,500 to make all of their dreams come true (we will build the school for that amount)  What did they do that was so bad to us?  They have worked all their life, and they shouldn’t have to stress all the time about their child’s education  They are not greedy, they are very grateful for what they have (which is almost nothing)

8. What Did They Do To Deserve This? They really need help. Will you respond to the call?
