Not all the Maasai people are Catholics/Christians and not all the people who live in Maasai land are Catholics/Christians. I have pointed out in a few places on the web-site, I want a school for children regardless of their walk of life. I personally went to a public school during the colonial era in Kenya and my parents did not even know what a school was or even what a Catholic/ Christianity was. From the then Primary Boarding School in Narok and later Government Maasai School (GMS) I received a good education and through Catholic teachers and visiting Catholic priests I became a Catholic. I believe in giving opportunity to all the people. If we help a few because they belong to one group then we deny the teaching that we are all in the image of the almighty. In the Catholic Church we sing “all are welcome.” I believe all is all. Hence the African proverb that appears in my web-site and my notes “I am because we are” WE ALL ARE. I am happy to be a Catholic Priest and this makes me feel that all are welcome because we are.
You say the Jubilee School is not a missionary school but it is being run by Fr. Symon, a Catholic Priest. Can you explain?
