Mama Brian


Mama Brian is a widow who wanted one of her children to get a formal education, so for her youngest, her 11th, she went to neighbours and friends every school term and asked for money to send Brian to school. When Rick Castiglione and the Maksymowich family met Brian the timing was  perfect because Brian would need more than friends and neighbours to help send him to university.


We got to help celebrate Brian's graduation with his mother, family, and neighbours.


We brought cake and soda


And we were presented with shukas and jewelry


We stayed late enough that the animals were being brought in for the night


They're kept in pens made of thorns to stay safe from predators



Brian is now a certified high school teacher

It took a village
