An- imals drink from it and people bathe in it, Bruxer says, adding that an ex- isting Free the Children school near- by has a water system that collects raindrops from its eavestrough. The organization also helped start a community fund that has adults pitching in a portion of their incomes every week or month to buy such items as a goat or bricks for a la- trine to help out others in the vil- lage. "There is a lot more diversity with how Free the\ Children helps," says Ra- chel Askett, an- other volunteer on the trip. "It's more than just in schools. It's for the whole com- munity." Askett says the organization made sure the students had a balanced sched- ule of work and free time. "There was a lot of emphasis on having fun while working," Askett says, noting that the volunteers were able to take breaks from the job to play with local children or relax under the shade of a tree. "We taught the kids some songs, like the Chicken Dance," •Askett says. The group also had the opportu- nity to go hiking in the mountainous region of Masai Mara and learned how to use tribal. weapons such as Posing with a traditional Kenyan spear, Massal warrior Sam- my poses with Seaforth's Dylan Bruxer, 15. a bow and arrow and spear from a traditional Massai warrior named Sammy who befriended the group. They also went on safari in a park reserve, where they snapped photos of lions, giraffes and elephants. "The highlight for me was spend- ing time as a group," says Danielle Chisholm, 16. "We bonded close to- gether." Bruxer says that when classes be- gin again at St. Anne's Secondary School next month, some mdmbers of the group hope to write letters to the children in Masai Mara. He says the group may even con- sider raising money to return to Ke- nya next summer. s`R' c).• t.tRA t -t TEE Sharon Medd, Broker 150 Main St., Seaforth... 519-527-0560 (0) 519-522-0660 (R) CONTACT US AT: www.mcintee.ca Hy Nearly All New Thurs, Aug 20th, 6-7:30pm. 161 Main St, South.
