Author Biography
In 2004, after a visit to Kenya, Mary Bowman-Kruhm and her family had the opportunity to sponsor Jackson Liaram's education as part of his quest to become a safari guide. This was the beginning of an amazing friendship that has involved working to bring a well to Jackson's village so villagers could have access to water and writing this book. As Mary says, "I am proud that Jackson, as a safari guide, now shares his knowledge of wildlife and passion for protecting it both with visitors to the Mara and with this book. Jackson is truly like a son to me. From knowing him, I have learned how alike all people are. He has shown me 'one finger cannot pinch a louse' (everyone needs other people). In Maa, 'Medany olkimojino obo elashei.'"
