Masai Warriors Take High Road in Wales

LONDON (Reuters) - Two Masai warriors have come to Wales for driving lessons to enable them to use two vans donated to their villages in Kenya by a Welsh charity.
Kaseti Lesengei, 31 and Matthew Laigwanani, 24, are learning to drive in Pontrhydyfen, near Neath in south Wales, thanks to the Celtic Cultural Exchange, a charity set up John and Margaret Walters, who met the warriors in Kenya two years ago.

"The landscape is a bit different to our homeland," Laigwanani told the Daily Telegraph on Thursday. "But if we can drive along the muddy tracks in Wales, we can drive anywhere."

The two vans will be used for medical emergencies as well as transporting cattle and goats to help villagers from Samburu, the second poorest of the Masai's 46 tribes.
