The Libby Trio! George, Frank and Charles.
Once upon time… there was a lady by the name of Libby Bailey! who came to this continent to fulfil her dream of climbing the Roof of Africa – Mt. Kilimanjaro.

She surely did just that and on her way up to the top she met this young man named George who was among the team of her porters. Somehow Libby immediately identified some unique qualities within this quiet, hard working boy and got curious as to how she could help him.

To cut the long story short, here is how George remembers his first encounter with Libby.
January, 2008 I was a porter to Mt. Kilimanjaro and it is when I was there, I met with Libby and we became friends.
Libby was curious and wanted to know more about me, why I was a porter, my family, my education and even my future. I explained to her everything. You know what? Libby asked me to find a school to further my studies. Professional Tour Guide School was highly recommended and she paid for my tuition. This was unbelievable! Just unbelievable. This was very kind of her and May God Bless Her and her Family. She is now monitoring my progress very closely.

“Thanks, Libby! You have changed my life and my dreams will come true now that I am studying and happy with my studies. My God Bless You All! Thanks.

Frank.
Libby went on to stay at the Crown Hotel, in Arusha and once again met with this soft spoken gentleman, Frank and to say the least, this is how Frank remebers Libby like “Malaika Aliyetumwa na Mungu” – An angel sent by God. This is what Frank has to say:

I remember the first day I met with my sponsor and it was in Arusha Crown Hotel where I was working as a waiter. She came with a group of other tourists and her husband Hudson. I was at their service everymorning for one week of their stay in the hotel. I liked them and felt very happy every time I was at their service. That way, I got this golden chance of knowing Libby better and we became friends. After one week they went back home but they promised to help me attain my dream of changing jobs and becoming a Professional Tour guide. Then I received great news that I can go and study at the Professional Tour Guide School – PROTS. I was very happy. I am now almost through the course and they are still helping me and following up my progress. I feel proud of them – May God Bless Them(English); Mungu Awalinde (Swahili); Njoo erip ndai e’ngai!(Maasai).

Charles.

This is my pleasure to take down this kind of a message to thank God and my dearest friend who is called Libby who sponsored me to come and learn about wildlife. But I can say a I’m very lucky to get to meet this great person, Libby.

I was with my friend and we were coming from school and we found this person reading a book along the road and we said hi and she responded. We went where we were going, but when we came back that lady was gone. I told my friend let’s find out what’s wrong with this lady, but when we reached there she said nothing was wrong. She saw one of my books of English language and she asked if she could see it, I gave it to her and that’s where we started asking each other questions. Shortly we talked a lot and she was so excited to meet us, she gave me her e-mail address but that time she was about to go back to her country in three days time. But she told me I could keep in touch. We did keep in touch and one time I was told she has paid for my school fees at PROTS. I was veru excited. I am happy now studying to become a professional tour guide.
Asante sana Dada Libby.
