Bharat with the Masai who wanted to exchange his spear for mineral water.

DURING a trip to Kenya in the late 1990s, Bharat Avalani had an encounter with a Masai which affected him deeply.

The Masai stopped his car and asked him if he had water. Bharat gave him two bottles of mineral water, and the Masai was so grateful that he wanted to give him his spear.
