In a recent trip to the Ewaso Village, LCCF Trustees Chip Duncan and Tina Langdok were reunited with friends throughout the region to share Chip’s book “Ewaso Village” with the incredible people who were the inspiration behind the book. During the trip, they were also able to visit with the Chui Mamas to see their new headquarters and some of their beautiful handmade beadwork, and spend time with Ambrose Letoulai, an LCCF scholarship recipient who went on to co-found the Chui Mamas and pursue a career in wildlife preservation, focusing on educating local children.
