A few years ago, the African Wildlife Foundation presented me with an unusual request: build a new school for Maasai children in Tanzania... one that is not right in the middle of an elephant breeding ground, preferably, and one in which the children would not have to share their playground with wandering lions, zebras, and other wild animals.

We thought that sounded pretty reasonable. And so began the Manyara Ranch school project. See the video below for the introduction to the project. Follow up with the rest of the videos from the series: Building the School, Manyara Dorms, and Classroom of Hope.
