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

Rating: 5 stars  

As an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Education at the University of Windsor in Windsor Ontario Canada, we have been taking a group of teachers to the O'Brien School for the Maasai every year since 2010. This is the most meaningful thing that I do in my life - going to Tanzania to work with the most amazing group of children. The children are gracious, respectful and deeply conscientious learners. The children in Tanzania have the greatest desire to learn and to make the most of their learning. With 100% of donations going towards the children, I fully support the O'Brien school's dream in creating, nurturing, supporting these self-empowered leaders of tomorrow. This is the benchmark for working on the continent - 'investment' in the children (paying particular attention to women and girls) and moving totally away from the old outdated model of 'hand-outs' and 'saving.' I an honored to be a part if that vision.
