Meet Raphael Lekuraiyo

Category: Other news | Date: Aug 07 2008 | By: ewasolions

Raphael is a young Samburu warrior who started working on the project in September last year. He is the Community Liaison Officer and is my right-hand man. He networks with the community, records conflict, maps manyattas, supervises the scouts and much more. His home is West Gate itself, however he often spends time at the Echo Lima camp.
