Join High Cloud's Humanitarian Mission to Kenya!

High Clouders - Sunday, July 04, 2010
Written by Rachel and Rina

Join High Cloud on an upcoming humanitarian mission this September to Kenya to provide support to the Maasai community living in Maasailand, one of the largest game refuges in the world!  Experience a culture rich in history and tradition while living with the Maasai, a large tribe estimated at nearly 900,000 people, living in an area that stretches across both Kenya and Tanzania. High Cloud will spend 10 days with the Maasai in the village.




High Cloud will be providing support to children and the community through presenting educational projects and building infrastructure, as well as providing much-needed school supplies.  Teams of High Clouders will be providing their time and talent to help the local community by helping construct a classroom for the rescued school children, as well as visiting the Kenya museums.  A more detailed description of each day of the mission is below.  

Tentative dates for the trip are September 11- September 21.  Both flights are over night, thus the trip will be 12 days.  As of July 2, 2010, round trip flights from Washington DC to Nairobi cost $1420.  The sooner that one can commit to the trip to Kenya , the cheaper the flight will be.  Food and lodging costs are estimated at $60 for 10 days. Additional costs would include a Safari, should you want to go on one.  Please contact Rachel Herbers at rachel@highcloud.org, and cc: info@highcloud.org should you want to join us for the experience of a lifetime!
