And in return, he was peppered with questions from students stu-dents who were amazed at the differences they saw in him.

The fascinated students listening to Solomon talk about his life, found that the most interesting interest-ing things about him included includ-ed his diet (the tribe drinks cow's blood, and the people are traditionally one of the most healthy groups in Africa), their dating customs (the boys and girls are not allowed to even talk to each other, but use a system of signals to show their interest in one another, and then the marriages are arranged), and the conditions of their schools (students get one notebook a year, in which they write in pencil so that it can be erased and reused over the course of the school year). Solomon, who arrived at OJH in the traditional clothing cloth-ing of his people, further spoke of the differences between the schools in Africa and those in America. He observed that he had never been in a school with carpeted carpet-ed floors, and how lucky our students were to have them. After a slide presentation showing pictures of traditional tradi-tional safari animals and Masai villages, Solomon invited the students to collect col-lect school supplies to send to the schools in Kenya and Tanzania. Student Government is heading a project to collect these supplies sup-plies and send them over to the African schools. And who knows, maybe someday our own OJHS students will be working with the Masai tribe and others to improve their standard of living across the globe. i , km - f ' ' ' " ENTER TO WIN A TRIP TO THE BYU-NOTRE DAME GAME.
