Jonathan is back again in the U.S. again on another outreach trip to raise awareness for MAYOO. He will be traveling from April 7 – 28th in Philadelphia, New York, and San Francisco in search of new sponsors and supporters of MAYOO.

The first stop was Philadelphia, where Jonathan and his partner Wilson, gave lectures at Villanova and Cheyney University with the help from Corey — a long time supporter of the MAYOO project.

After a quick trip to New York to see old friends, raise donations, and sell jewelry, Jonathan will be traveling to San Francisco to continue his efforts. He hopes to find new sponsors for many of the girls at home. Below is a photo of the girls holding letters in the hopes of finding a sponsor to go to school.

If you would like to support Jonathan on his mission trip in San Francisco, or if you would like to sponsor a girl, please contact Maasaiyouth@yahoo.com.

Jonathan undertook another successful fundraising and outreach trip in London in November with the help of MAYOO friends and new partners, including the Fulham Boys School, King Alfred’s school, St. Mary’s Redcliffe, and Ujima Radio.

The primary purpose of the trip was to secure new sponsors for girls at the Safe House and to raise awareness about issues facing the Maasai community. Jonathan gave lectures at schools and events, and spoke on Ujima Radio. We are very thankful to the many hosts that wanted to learn more and support the Maasai community:

Through the events, MAYOO was able to secure 8 new sponsorships for girls in need at the Safehouse. Janet, Sarah, Mereso, Lorna, Alica, Sylvia, Ann Napanoi, and Emily are extremely thankful to their new sponsors for funding their education. Pictures of the girls can be seen below:
