That's a really amazing article. The Masai are a fascinating people, a very positive and beautiful culture, especially in their treatment of their children, which would make an excellent model for anyone thinking about parenthood.
The act of giving cows to the US may seem trivial to some, but the cow is so much the center of Masai spirituality that this is truly a precious gift for them. Part of the Masai teaching is that all cows, regardless of where on earth they are, actually 'belong' to the Masai. Not in a sense of ownership, but in a much more basic bond that involves their duty to the herd. For them to give that duty to someone not of the Masai is a very meaningful gift.
Thanks for the post Caleb.
