Waving US flags and wearing traditional garb, members of Masai tribe present cattle as gift to Americans

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)
