Interviewing Maasai Women

So today I went out early with two of our translators (Leboy and Samwell) and Garrett and Kaylee to set up some interviews.  I was surprised at how fast of a response I got!  I visited Bomas with Samwell and after some rapid back and forth between him and the first older woman we saw, she consented and said that she would bring 4-5 other people to be interviewed at 3:00PM today!  Holy crap, so now this afternoon I will be doing that.  I am quite excited but a little nervous.  Or maybe I am just hungry… I need to start eating more during lunches.

When I arrived at the site of our interviews I was shocked to see about 15 women and too many children to count sitting there.  It was along the roadside.  I was not expecting this; I was expecting maybe 5 people total.  As it turns out it was an entire women’s group!  I went with the translator Sarah, after Leboy introduced us all to them, and sat next to the three oldest looking women.  Now, it is essential for me to do individual interviews, but it was set up like it was going to be a focus group discussion.  I quickly evaporated this by telling Sarah that I wanted to ask questions one at a time, with a clear gap in between one interview and the next.  So that is what we did.
