An amazing guy

Simon has been the engineer for our water project. He lives way off the beaten path near Machakos, Kenya. He has been very involved with the widows and orphans of AIDS victims in his village - with no pay.

AND he's an incredible craftsman. He built this guitar and drums by hand! Jay got to try out the drums, and they sound pretty good.

My highest regards to Simon! Very few people are as caring like that!
