International Team:

	Sam Bartram- Sam’s initial two week visit to Kenya soon extended to two months, which quickly became six months. It took an empty bank account and a bout of malaria to get him back to England, where he now vicariously enjoys Kenya through the volunteers he recruits.
	Alex Waterfield- Alex is the veteran volunteer in the team, having spent over a year in Kenya doing everything from coral reef conservation to writing for a newspaper. Although he is currently pursuing a master’s degree in journalism at Columbia University, he spends an unhealthy amount of classtime daydreaming about his next trip to Kenya, where he plans on getting his pilot’s license.
	Sarah Chandler- One of Tembeza Kenya’s first volunteers, Sarah spent six months teaching at Nazarene school in Mombasa (check out the movie!), where she quickly discovered her calling as a teacher. She now teaches second grade at a small independent school in Manhattan and is the go-to gal for all your teaching-related questions.
	Mike Jeynes- Tembeza’s guru of all things technical. Although Mike has yet to go to Kenya, he thinks the Tembeza website he single-handedly created has earned him a Tembeza-sponsored trip. Negotiations are currently underway. In the meantime, check out some of Mike’s other work at www.virtualdesigns.co.uk.
	Derek Lee- Derek, a filmmaker and editor by trade, is currently making plans for incorporating a non-profit branch for Tembeza Kenya. Derek’s resourcefulness and enthusiasm have already garnered him enough donations to fill a shipping crate, which he would happily put himself him if it meant he would get to spend more time in Kenya.
	Emily Anderson- Born and raised in Kenya, Emily has since moved to the US where she is now a starving artist, world-class snowboarder and do-gooder of the loveliest kind. Emily is responsible for Tembeza’s vast array of community projects, and is notorious for poaching volunteers from other projects to join community-related ones.

Kenya Team:

	Thomas Mwanga- A journalist by trade, Tom discovered the one thing he likes more than writing- people. TJ has been with Tembeza since the beginning and is the fountain of knowledge for all things Kenyan. TJ, as he’s known to those close to him, is well-traveled across East Africa. You can discuss with him any subject under the sun.
	Lydia Wandia- Lydia is a full-time social worker who has spent time all over Africa. Lydia manages all of Tembeza’s community-based projects and holds positions with several humanitarian organizations, including Care Kenya and Nairobi’s Mathare Mental Hospital. She is driven by the desire to see radical social change effected in Kenya, where inequality and destitution are a way of life.
	Michelle McHardy- Michelle was one of Tembeza’s pioneer volunteers. During her three months stint as a teacher in Mombasa, she fell in love with the country that is today her home. Michelle is now studying for a degree in international relations at a university in Nairobi and is always happy to help volunteers get used to life in Kenya.
	Peter Kanyeki- Peter has been working in the tourism and hospitality industry for several years, and coordinates all of Tembeza’s wildlife conservation placements. Peter is also a big indoor games fan, and whether it is by conspiracy or coincidence, Peter always ends up with ‘Park Lane’ in any game of Monopoly he plays.
	Lucy Mumbi- Lucy cultivated a love of travel and volunteer work during a four-year stay in Tanzania. Lucy’s enthusiasm and kind spirit made her the obvious choice to be in charge of volunteer arrivals and orientations; her welcoming smile will put you at ease from the moment you step off the plane.
	Emily Anyango- Emily has a thing about children. When she’s not arranging various teaching and childcare-related placements, Emily can be found volunteering herself at an orphanage in Nairobi. Emily is very friendly and loves taking volunteers to the city’s open-air markets to experience the fun of haggling.
