A very shy Silas comes to talk to us about his new fiance..... if he could blush.. he would
This is the bride price our masai friend Silas needs to pay for his fiance, Dora.
These offerings are not for the wedding but are to be given to her father to pay for Dora so that Silas can go ahead and marry her.
4 crates of sodas are required first along with the small cow. Later, Silas will need to produce the large bull and small cow and the other 6 crates of sodas.
This is a regular payment here amongst the masai when they start to court a young lady.
Silas came visiting to ask us to help him with his payment because he doesn't have any cows.
mmmm.... how much are cows here? He didn't know... Sodas, however are around 9,000 tz or $8 per crate. 10 crates will be a whole months wage for Silas.... but she is worth it, I'm sure.
