My Nonprofit Reviews

The O'Brien School for the Maasai is a hidden gem in the middle of a maasai village in Tanzania. I volunteered at the school for a 2 month period in the summer of 2013 with a friend. The school director and the office manager were amazing and ran the school better than most schools are run in the US. Kellie, the founder of the organization, is very inspirational and nothing can stop her from doing all she can to help the children of Sanya Station. The students are extremely polite, eager to learn and excel in their daily classes. Not only do the students attend school at OBSM, but they return home to their families to work. It's amazing that OBSM is able to provide such a quality education to these students and that they are so willing to learn to get the career or future they know they deserve. I enjoyed my time at the school and would return in a heartbeat, as I'm sure any volunteer would say.
