Starting in 2008, KKOS shows what can be accomplished for pastoralist children and their communities throughout Kenya, Africa and the world. Pastoralism is only a dream of the American Great Plains, while the whole world supports strengthening these native communities rooted in traditional "cattle culture" through protection of the very wildlife that threatens it. Kenyan children are the pioneers and future of diversification through conservation of wildlife and the opportunities that affords.

March 2010 KKOS Game Drive at Governors' Camp
GOVERNORS’ CAMP KKOS Game Drive for Mara Rianda School Kids– March 6, 2010
Colin Smit of Governors’ reports:
"The second group of children were taken out on Sat. 6th March. Again, much fun was had by all and the young people were very appreciative.
As yet they have not written the short letters on how they saw their experience, but the headmaster has assured me he shall get the kids on to this. A short note on Mara Rianda Primary School:
The school is situated 100 miles west of Nairobi and 50 miles south of Narok and was started in May 1988. Initially built of mud, the classes are now more permanent thanks to efforts on the part of Governors Camp and The Big Cat Diary.
A borehole was installed in 2005, but lighting equipment is still one of the school’s many needs. There are over 600 hundred pupils at the school, so money is tight! As with many African schools, some children walk up to two hours each way to get to and from school and so funds are being requested for a boarding house (dormitory). An English man, Richard Long, has a taken great interest in the school and has set up a trust for them (The Mara Rianda Charitable Trust). His email address is rlong@richardlong.co.uk. Obviously any small thing people do for them is appreciated."
