I went to school in Lodwar that is in turkana and all the above info is correct and now that i live in California in the USA not the california in Lodwar turkana i can see thing from a diffrent angle This are one of the most intresting human beings you will ever meet on earth.love there cattle ,goats,sheep,camel and donkey alot.
One thing you will also see this people are such a sipritual people who worship the moon for everytime full moon is up they will be singing ADONGa for a long time.Just behind my former high school Lodwar boys they have the lagest manyatta in the whole country called Napete Village just pay a vist there and you will learn more.
The turkana kids are extremely inteligent when it comes to maths and science but theyt do lack school fees to get proper education.
Thoug my parents took me to that school because it was less expensive.but still they lack the fee and motivation to attend
You can write ask me questions i will answer.
Tell me more about the area... how has that war effected the people and what do they need?
Man, you are right, Am Turkana went through the same Lodwar high school.I had to struggle hard to be where am at the moment. Am in the Netherlands pursueing my masters in International Health, am planning to specialise in health economic to find the way to support the Turkana people and Kenya as whole in stable health care system.
Its true my turkana people are gifted in mathematics and science i can feel it sitting in classw with dutch students.
Explain me more how we can link up and reiforce some efforts for Turkana child.
