It's 5 a.m.! James has to get up. He is in Africa, on the grassland of Kenya. He is visiting the Masai people(马赛族人). He is helping them with their cows. James even carries a stick to keep the lions away. Yes, it's a hard job for a 14-year-old boy from Virginia. But James wants to help them.
James' trip to Africa isn't a holiday. It's part of classes at Langley School. James' teacher is Joseph. He is a member or Africa's Masai people of Kenya. Every summer he takes some of his students and their parents on a two-week trip to his hometown. Kenya is a whole new world for the kids from Virginia. When they get there, the American kids put on Masai clothes. Boys takes care of cows. Girls collect firewood and water. Families there live on their cows. As a result, the Masai and the students have to move a lot, so the cows have grass to eat.
Back in the United States, Kenya is on the minds of the students at Langley School all year. Dry weather has killed many cows in Kenya, so the students created an activities called Cows for Kids to raise money for them. They use the money to buy cows. Each cow costs about $100. "One cow means more to the health of a family than money," says Joseph. "Here we're really giving life. A cow will give a child milk every day." Joseph wants to help people in his hometown. "I'm just trying to give my students a different way of thinking," says Joseph. He says helping the Masai is just one step. He hopes the kids will find out ways to help all those who need it, too.
