The League of Friends of St. Andrews Church Halstead hosted a performance by the Osiligi Maasai Warriors in the church.

The troupe performed several traditional songs and dances to help raise funds for the village schools in their native Kenya last Friday evening, with the support of Essex law firm Birkett Long.

Organiser Jan Amos said: "It was a unique privilege to see the Warriors performing in Halstead, and a great visual spectacle in a full church.

“Our thanks are due to everyone who attended and especially those who helped us to stage the performance."
