EMAYO promotional tour in Canada – 2010
Emmanuel Ole Kileli, Chairman of Ereto Maasai Youth [EMAYO] came to Canada for a six month visit in 2010. Besides improving his English to help in his continuing education, he traveled to different parts of the country to talk with Canadians about his culture, the issues facing pastoralists in Tanzania and about the work of his organization.
He is very interested in forming partnerships with school and community groups in Canada, encouraging active research and exchange of ideas about pastoralist issues and encouraging support for the work of his organization.
Here is an outline of his major speaking tour while he was with us in Canada. Emmanuel also wrote a letter of thanks to all he met during his time here. You can read the letter here – Emmanuel’s letter.
You can contact us with ideas and expressions of interest in becoming involved with his work. Please email us at: info@trust.firstcontactdesign.com for more information or to be in touch with Emmanuel’s organization.
