I was actually about to post that, Caleb - I read it in the Sydney Morning Herald today. Laying aside all the politics, it's a gesture straight from the heart - quite selfless, really.

Like the New Testament story of the rich man who donated twenty gold coins, which represented a pittance of what he had, and the woman beggar who donated two gold coins, which represented everything that she had, the Masai have given something more priceless than cows - they have given something that comes straight from the heart, with no expectations of anything in return. True, unconditional generosity in this day and age is almost unheard of and it's a shame that it took at small village in the wilds of Kenya to show us that it still exists. [img]smile.gif[/img]
