The Lion Guardians and the Maasai community here in the Chyulus have been waiting for the short rains to come. It has been so dry here, and all the grass has gone. The wildlife and the people that live here have been competing with each other for water, and animals have been getting sick and dying. Finally it has started to rain, and we are all so happy!
