As you might imagine a white Christmas, or the possibility of one, is not something that concerns Daniel Sopia. As normal he will be guiding as well as playing an important part in the festivities that we have planned in camp and at the houses. He tells me that back at his village, the Sopia household will be doing things a little differently.
His community only really acknowledge the day because they realise its significance in the world. As with all special occasions they will be slaughtering a goat and the family will invite relatives and friends around to the house to enjoy it together. The Masai don't really give presents to each other, but they might have bought a new item of clothing from the market to look nice on the day. Daniel is clear that Christmas, as always, should be filled with the most important things starting with the warmth of family and friends.
Across the Rekero operation we will be doing things on a slightly larger scale and will seek to perhaps be a little more active but very much aspire to those same values. So wherever you are and however you choose to pass the day we hope that it is a happy one. The whole team here have asked us to send seasonal greetings to you all and your families and we have great pleasure in doing just that.
Our very best to you all,
Rob & Gordie
