A few Good Men

23 04 2008

You got go give it to these few good men. These Maasai warriers came all the way to London from Tanzania to take part in the Flora London Marathon. The run was to raise money for getting clean water to their remote village.

I saw this report first from the Treehugger blog and it really had me sit up and wonder about how many thoughtful things there are to do in life. If only we will it. Apparently, three out of every five children die in the Elaui village because the water they drink is dirty. Now that’s something that one cannot come to terms with. Water is a fundamental need of every living being, and if clean water is deprived, then what chance is there for these young ones to see adulthood?

News has it that these brave warriers reached their target of Sixty thousands Pounds by running in the marathon. Clad in their traditional attire, these men of grit and determination wore shoes made of car tyres to complete the Marathon.

Here’s a beautiful video of the Marathon:
