Bogo Light Photo Shoot with our Masaai Askaris

Dennis

One of my favorite things here at the village are the Masaai Askaris. They are the men who handle our security at the Rift Valley Children’s Village. They patrol the property day and night, 24 hours a day. Usually during the day they have a uniform they wear, however at bathtime they change into their Shukas, which is the traditional Masaai wear for the warriors as well as the women.

We have an arrangement with Bogo lights, if someone buys a Bogo Solar Light, then they donate a light to us. It is a fantastic arrangement as these are solar powered lights and are so much better and brighter than battery operated ones. I stopped using my battery operated flashlights within a day of getting my Bogo light. We had a professional photographer on hand to take a photo shoot and one of our volunteers, Laura, took pictures of him taking pictures. I think they are fantastic and just love the colors! The shukas they have on are what they wear on a day to day basis and not in anyway staged.
