A Masai Village Responds to the September 11 AttacksA Masai village makes a gift of cattle to help Americans recover from the September 11 attacks Enoosaen, Kenya Members of the Masai tribe in Enoosaen, Kenya, presented a gift of cattle to the United States to help Americans in New York and elsewhere recover from the attacks of September 11. The idea for the village gift was initiated by Kimeli Willson Naiyomah, a member of the tribe who is currently attending Stanford University in the U.S., training to become a doctor. Naiyomah and other members of the Masai village presented the cattle to Deputy Chief of Mission William J. Brencick from the U.S. embassy in Nairobi, along with a pledge to present Masai beadwork in the form of an American flag. (Department of State photos by Peter Claussen)
