Christina Morin is an amazing young woman with an inspiring story. When she was 17, Christina went on a safari to Kenya with her parents. During her trip, she spent four days with the local Samburu tribespeople, who were suffering from a devastating drought after several months without rain and had very little food. Christina wanted to help. She started by teaching art classes to the Samburu children, who had never painted before. Christina was amazed at their wonderful drawings, and began to think. If she made their pictures into note cards, would she be able to sell them when she went home and raise money for food? She bought samples of the children’s artwork with her own vacation money, which paid for two weeks’ worth of food for the tribe. Soon after she got home, the Samburu Project was born. Christina has been selling tribal arts and crafts for several years now, with all profits going to the tribespeople in Kenya.
