School that brought peace between feuding Maasai and Kipsigis communities

At the edge of the lush and expansive Maasai Mara Game Reserve in Narok South stands a compact rectangular mud structure with cracked walls and a bumpy and uneven earth floor.  Old and rusty corrugated iron sheets generously let in light through their gaping holes, which is a relief considering the little windows that can barely light up the room.

This mud building, which used to be a classroom, makes for an awkward entrance into a a modern school compound with well-built concrete classrooms.
