In 2006, Kellie O'Brien and her daughter, Heather, traveled to Africa to volunteer at a convent in Sanya Ju, Tanzania. With so much hardship around them, they felt impelled to give away much of the clothing and money they had with them. At the end of the day, however, they knew they had not made a lasting difference. When asked how they could, the sisters told them about a Massai man named Gabriel who had come to the convent for the last five years, asking for a school. Even then, Kellie O'Brien knew that her life was about to change.
