Masai Girl - Kenya

[MsKittenz1]

@annetteTalas are you ignorant.....it's called an accent do you expect this child to speak American English? I wish ignorant ppl wouldn't comment.

[AnnetteTalas]

It's great that new technologies are becoming available to them, but i hope they don't lose their culture and traditions as a result. Or at least not too much of it.

[AnnetteTalas]

Poor gramma.

[GuakaMali]

beautiful masai girl

[Buggie123]

god bless these shitty smelling niggers

[africanchicaful]

@Buggie123 God Bless you too!!! Love: Beautiful PROUD African

[ashy6793]

@Buggie123

Be humble because you do not know what the next life has in store for you.,.you might be blessed to come back as one of them...You dont choose the color of your skin or where you were born..I suspect that you stink of arrogance and ignorance.

[whiteberd333]

The above video response was created to shed light upon the current drought conditions in Kenya. In the midst of the Rift Valley, the people most endangered are the Maasai and 16 children of an orphanage.

[joekuria]

This is a very inspirational story that gives hope to everyone out there no matter what you are doing with your life

[timboja2]

that is the spirit maasai girl...... i will always hunt for u.... i go to school here too.

[65tasty]

So, I definitely know how you feel. By the way, while you are in a foreign country, some people may try to change you, because they want you to be their culture. Don't let them. Understand you have a culture and a way of acting that is like no other race or culture on the earth. Don't let them tell you your ways are bad, unless you are hurting somebody - not culture. Just be who you are without harming other people, because you are only practicing your culture. Nothing wrong with that! EVER!

[65tasty]

I feel for you, girl, about your grandmother being worried about you losing your culture. I remember when I was offered a trip to a foreign country when I was 22, my parents were really worried about me going, because they were afraid I would lose my culture. When I came home, my parents were so worried that I let the culture in the country naively change me that my mom started criticizing me in a restaurant just because I looked away from her while talking to her. I'm European-American.

[madamzeegi]

This so reminds me of me , you go girl!

[Roosis58]

this is great. if you like it you may like these kids. look up maasai music project. thier on facebook too.

[PATRICELUMUMBAS]

[akodheva1]

[yoadrienneaz]

I was just in Narok and the Masai Mara. Is this girl in America now or back in Narok?

[Hapidogg101]

I was inspired !!! Sat is a. Lucky woman to have family and community to give her the pen and the paper to eventually return as a doctor and a leader in medicine

[taknidentity1]

Thank you, Journeyman, for bringing us this inspirational story.

"A pen and a paper", knowledge = empowerment. Educating girls = empowering the community. How motivational her story is.

[kasekende100]

i cant stop listening to this story.

[kasekende100]

this is what we call love, the same time we have got to do whatever it takes to have happy ending, god bless u ur family and the lovely community.

[GGLebo23]

This story was so refreshing. The Masai clothing, family, and ambition seem so strong. I wish this girl luck in all of her endeavors. 

[TheKasupuu]

This is waow!

[masoritta]

the most inspiring story ever. Ashe oleng' enkanashe ai. Mikitamayiana Enkai too nkolong'i pooki.

[tildyc]

God has blessed you! You have the very best of both worlds! Please take care of ur sister... she is like so many other women of this world.. sometimes we are mothers before we are ready... but we carry on.

[zxa105]

what a beautiful people, loving, caring, and united

[bapyou]

I love the African singing; so strong and confident. Like the heartbeat of the world.

[palestinloveisrael]

and in french the translation it's possible?

[JoshuaMimano]

If this girl needs help, I am Kenyan living in Virginia send email to admin@usaitec.com and my name is Joshua Mimano

[jkantet]

it's really touching

[realtotherealest]

Why can;t people understand that a girl needs education to support herself before marriage . How can a girl take care of a baby empty handed.

[joynozfri]

A very inspiring video, thank you

[ShayanneBieber4555]

aww

[kingofmantova]

very emotional

[Duck1eRhys]

This should definitely become a movie.

[delirium11]

it is not maasai who need educations - they have got knowledge they need to live, the education is a tool of globalizing cultures (assimilating cultures in the global world).

[supervirtuouswoman]

She is so very beautiful

[LetusbFree]

The script was written for her!

[chanukatuchanuane]

May God Bless This Family Let's Join And Give Girl Child A Full Education.

[nwlizzy]

Wow, a very inspiring success story. I'm a Kenyan girl reading this story from Belgium where am pursuing my higher education. I'm so proud of this Massai girl, Go gal! I guess you are graduating this year, congratulation!

[growersalliance]

Waoh - great story! Go girl, blessings upon you and all you do. Hope you will change that culture and the community. My prayers are with you.

[mchigubu]

What a moving video! This is the best video I have ever watched on youtube. The only problem I have with it are the commercials that appear at the beginning of the video. I nearly dropped the idea of watching the video because of the commercials. What a Masai African Queen!

[jewelzs56USA]

this remindes me of where i grew up, here in the USA, the back woods of Brenham, Texas. Where I graduated from High School 1974. And was told to get all the education that was availabe to me(i was just 16 years old. And so I left Brenham, Texas and when to California.

this story reminds me, of that journey for a better opportunity, even though this story is 2000 miles away in Africa.

[DJshafka]

GOD BLESS EAST AFRICA

[geo123123]

Amazing! Great documentary!

[QueenShaMia34]

Beautiful story. I cried about four times. I love to see this. I wish black people in america could learn how to be strong and pull each others together. We are so divided.

Beautiful story... I support you 100%

[FredAltonBrannen]

May God help you achieve ALL your dreams of making a difference for your people. God bless the leaders who came up with this idea and sacrificed to send you out for advanced studies.

[dolish34]

[JimmieHeaven]

XOXO

[alinamald]

ALL RESPECT for this BRILLIANT girl! It;s amazing! so modest, so clever...

[overthehill68]

Such a brave smart beautiful girl! The Masai are such a beautiful people

[SwahiliYa]

Inspiring and encouraging.

[milkkys]

wow! this is a touching n inspiring story. Im so touched by every word the girl speaks n how true the video is. God help more kenyans n bless them all. Nothing is impossible wen u r determined to make it in life.

[muthaka1]

beautiful people, beautiful country, thats what Kenya will always be to me... proudly Kenyan

[Khuchidaya]

This is a very inspiring story about making an impact in the community!!! I love my country Kenya so much with its reach culture!!!

[AskariWaryaa]

Beautiful people!

[asantemelita]

This should be a real difference that shall be aspired by all Maasai youngsters. This lady has been a good example and we must follow. Culture should be respected, YES, but should give other opportunities to comeover and change the people. I like this move. Keep it up my sister.

[Crittermum]

Not a spear or a shield to give her daughter, she sends her to America with a pen and paper. Beautiful. I hope that education can continue to be encouraged, and that it can be harmonious with the Massai culture.

[meyian1]

Oh my God! wish all could come out of such primitiveness life and shine and bring the light back home. that's great and big up for Ledama and the rest.

[ndemwesh]

you know this just takes me back home and even with all the struggles i know i always feel so proud to say i am kenyan...and i will become somebody and help my people...you go girl

[supuu23]

this reminds me alot, and i cried alot, i pray girls you achieve your goals of helping the others at home. thanks for this video

[Nunguni]

BEAUTIFUL GIRLS! Thats for sure! Its just too sad how such beutiful people are born in such UNFORTUNATE situations. Instead of haters hating on people, they should thank God for having what they have, an opportunity in life that most haters dont take advantage of!

[evans945]

Wow, this just goes to show you how much american children take for granted. Oprah was right when she made that statement about, "ipods and sneakers".

[gabbyolivia79]

uuu your good lady.. u speak for your people.. that is very powerfull

[Anet000]

very interesting docummentary, i felt like i was watching some movie but it was reality! Miracles happen

[ninz5555]

Baraka za mungu ziwe nawe.

[thesoccerboy20]

@dadoh10 wow no offense u dont know how stupid u look

[dadoh10]

@thesoccerboy20 And how is that?

[thesoccerboy20]

@dadoh10 all that african languege stuff

[dadoh10]

@thesoccerboy20 And what's wrong with the language "stuff"? Isn't English also a foreign language to some? But the question should be, why are you bothered so much that i commented in an African language?

[thesoccerboy20]

@dadoh10 becuase africans and asians have the funniest languege out of everybody

awawa

[dadoh10]

@thesoccerboy20 Well laugh it all up coz you just made yourself look really ignorant.

[thesoccerboy20]

@dadoh10 HAHAHA i speak english so it dont matter for me i dont speak kunta kinte languege

[dadoh10]

@thesoccerboy20 If it didn't matter to you why did you come at me in the 1st place?

[taknidentity1]

@thesoccerboy20 Thank you for your comment, with its many grammatical and spelling errors. You are a brilliant example of what wasted opportunities to educate oneself can produce. An ignorant. The opposite of that Masai girl.

So, thanks for giving us such an easy comparison. Cheers! :)

[thesoccerboy20]

@taknidentity1 um its the fuqn internet this shit aint gotta be correct and if i dont like them zulus then i just dont fuqn like them

[webster0528]

@thesoccerboy20 do you know how stupid you just made yourself look? like honestly thats just sad...

[PlaaiZ]

hheey guys...how can u understand what shes sayin? :S

[contempt4]

Wish you the best girl..... Your story is inspiring

[emahunda]

It real touches, She is a young girl real sent by God to save masai women from the primitive life they experience. Sister be close to God and magnify the presence of God to those who do not believe there is god. I hope God will bless you with more talents to make sure you accomplish this job to save his chidren. Thanks to those who supported to magnify your talent and to make you be an example to people tha masai ladies can also do it.

[butelezi00roman]

This is really sweet.Wish you the best in life girl.(I wonder why someone should comment something nasty here.She has been in the states and there, there are no 'kenyans' to sell you anything at the stores or to serve you in the banks!Thats why she has the American accent..)

[EritranPrincess]

[bosibori90]

wow.... you are trully an inspiration.... Wish you the best!

[feacliz]

[feacliz]

go girl...you've got dreams...go for it......you are an encouraging person..best of luck

[dikdik1969]

This is unbeliable. Is it really true? For sure nothing is impossible if one has determination and support. Maasai Education Discovery programme is a first among equals in changing the Maasai landscape. Keep it UP. Wish all of you best of LUCK.

[toxobow4xamarcade]

kkkkkkkkkkkk

primitive tribes these are backward tribes of kenya. i feel sorry for their backwardness

[dr1gba]

Fuck you,

[8stepsifu]

they spent how much of thier money on healthcare? You will wish your community did so when you have an empty jar in every gas station for your chemotherapy.

[Bintishortee]

A very inspiring and encouraging story. I hope she achieves her dreams and hopes of helping and empowering other girls in her community.

[salaq7777]

This is the best tribal people in the world because the entire village use to sell everything thy can just to educate thier best kid.inspiring people isnt it?

[oyiote]

This is really moving and inspiring. Go girl and stop at nothing short of the doctor you hope to be.

Thank God for this opportunity.

[dr1gba]

[paintedpilgrim]

Truly inspiring.

It shows how the human spirit can overcome adversity and that background is not a barrier to success.

I too have overcome the past to succeed, from a homeless drug addict to a doctor in 15 years

[MarinaOfLight]

Thank you for you!

[Shebaqueenof]
