The Lord helps those who help themselves!

I've just seen an amazing news report about a group of six Maasai warriors from Tanzania, who ran the London Marathon yesterday to raise money to dig a well for their village. At the moment there is a serious drought in that region and two out of three children die because of the conditions. An English charity, Greenforce, are working with the Maasai and in an English language class the topic of running came up and the Greenforce volunteers explained about the London marathon and how many people raise money for good causes. This really sparked the imagination of several of the warriors and yesterday they ran the marathon in full Masai dress of blankets, jewelry, shields and spears. Fare play to them!
