The particular Masai you have in mind live in the Kenyan village of Enoosaen, near the border with Tanzania. A tribesman named Kimeli Naiyomah -- who was (and perhaps still is?) a Stanford pre-med student -- alerted his African brethren to the events of 9-11. Members of the tribe wanted to do something to help the Americans, so they generously donated 14 large & healthy cows. (Which must have been a king's ransom for that poor, semi-nomadic tribe...)
That's all I can find. As an aside, I, too, would like to send them some sort of thanks.

thanks to you, as well.
I'll see if I can find out what such a people would actually find useful/appropriate. If/When I do, want me to ping you?
If this is something beyond my means, it might be something that could be sponsored by FReepers, assuming there is broad enough interest.
Do you think there might be?
