TRADITIONAL WAY OF LIGHTING FIRE AMONG MASAI

As they say culture difference should not separate  us from each other but rather cultural diversity brings strength that can benefit all humanity and that is why  the Masai  have never abandoned their culture  and they put it in practice  day after  the other.
