Review for O'Brien School for the Maasai NFP, Hinsdale, IL, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I have been a part of the O'Brien School for the Maasai since the beginning. The impact this school is making on not only the kids, but the families and surrounding community is incredible. To see first hand how this school has grown over the last 8 years is amazing. There is no substitute for educating a child and the children at The O'Brien School for the Maasai are growing up to be great leaders of Tanzania. I am so proud to be a part of this organization.

Review for O'Brien School for the Maasai NFP, Hinsdale, IL, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

It's not often that you see a grassroots organization make as large as an impact as the The O'Brien School for the Maasai has, not only in Tanzania but also right in Hinsdale and the surrounding communities where the volunteers live. To know that you can change the life course of a child is an amazing thing. In a few short years we have transformed a village into a learning meca for children and their parents. We have brought in water and electricity to a school with 320 children. Our library has over 3,000 books and our women's center is empowering our women to help provide for their families. Our volunteers have gone back again and again and again to help because they understand the impact they are having on these children and their families. This is an organization with a lot of heart and passion.
