Tanzania - Day 4 Nashipay School Opening

Today is our first full day the Boma. We started by visiting the Nashipay School which is supported by the Eco Boma. Each morning the children assemble at 7:30 am for music, movement and dance to start their day. It's an amazing way to get the kids ready for their day. After our school visit we had breakfast together. The rest of the day we spent getting settled. Visiting the school playground, and soccer field. Exploring the permaculture area - each class is responsible for a section of the vegetable gardens, trees and plants. This afternoon Adrian and I met with Clamian to discuss the communities priorities going forward. All decisions are made by the community by consensus and the Elders always choose the projects and their priority. The community has a strong sense of self and an incredible wisdom about their future. It's a refreshing system of real democracy compared to our own.
Noah and Cael joined in on an afternoon soccer game and Jamie and I hung out with some of the kids. Cael's been using his Maasai stick to learn some moves and spent some time with Cole showing him what he's learned. Gorgeous sunset ended a fabulous day.
