Our tea farm, a sustainable crop good for 100 years. It's hard to see, but that's a cell phone tower on the hill.  It seemed like just about everyone had a cell phone...and a great signal.

While there I met Zev Lowe of WorldReader.org from Barcelona, Spain when he joined our team at one of our five schools in Kilgoris Kenya in January.

Shadrack is one of our Kilgoris Project teachers

Shadrack Lemiso is the headmaster of our  Ntimigom Nursery and Primary School, just outside of Kilgoris. In 2009, he graduated from the University of Nairobi with a Bachelor’s degree in Education.
