Heart of The Family - Mchumba This is truly a great day for us! We have a saying -'With our children as our sustenance, our treasure surrounds us,' and we are proud and happy to have brought our new baby back home after the happy occasion of its naming ceremony. We will watch this little one grow with pride and joy for we know that it is only through our children that our Maasai way of life will survive..

"Like the roots that nourish the tree I a 'yeyio' mother, nourish my family. My branches spread far and my love encircles the tribe. My husband's first and second wives are as sisters to me and when we are together we dance and sing many beautiful songs thanking Engai for his blessings: 'Give us children. Give us cattle. Our hope is with you always.'"
