Soft Haired Child
The Rendille may look a bit like the famous Masai with red cloths and tall thin frames but the reality is that everything else about them is different. The Masai are 'nilotic' in linguistic classification and the Rendille are 'cushitic'. The Rendilles closest language family is Somali and they resemble them closely in culture, looks (note the loose wavy hair and fine features of the girl pictured here), and sound. To the untrained ear Rendille sounds more arabic than african.

Ringision and Tirrim Primary School
At Tirrim Primary School Rendille kids have the opportunity to learn about a world outside of camels, sand and sun. Christian teachers give children like Ringison (pictured) hope. Besides that they also get a meal every day, something most in her family have no guarantee of.

Just a minute
As you can see I am diving into the blog thing. Mind first.
The Rendille are nomadic camel keepers. to the average visitor they look like masai but I hope to show you that they are vastly different. My photos of the Rendille will focus on portraits (often kids) and on the unusual angle. I am eager to get feedback on how to improve my photos and the blog as a whole, so please take a min and post a comment.
