Our Zao Water contact Clara Wiggins met us and led us to Wake Forest University, where we met Becky Hartzog. Becky hosted us for our day at the Univeristy. We walked around campus smiling, singing and taking pictures with students, as well as marveling at how an educational institution could be so big!

We met Mark Hoover, from Rift Valley Academy, and he tried his Swahili on the En-kata Choir – which always makes us smile!

We had a delicious all-you-can-eat lunch in the Pit, and had to say goodbye to our new friend Clara.

Marshall surprised us all by showing up at Wake Forest University. He spent some time with the Maasai (Masai) at Pamoja Ministries before they left on this trip. What a surprise and delight it was to run into “the white man who knows how to dance and jump like a Maasai (Masai) Warrior”.
