What started as a brief meeting in 1999 has blossomed into a project that is transforming futures in rural Kenya. Jon and Caren McCormack, from Los Altos, California met Kilgoris villager Wilfred (Willie) Lemiso while on safari in Kenya’s Maasai Mara game reserve. At Kichwa Tembo safari camp, where Willie works as a waiter, the three struck up a quick friendship and bonded over their mutual Christian faith. The McCormacks asked Willie about his family and village. He told them about his church and their desire for musical instruments. The McCormacks parted by exchanging addresses and giving him a small donation.
