Kimeli Wilson Naiyomah

Kimeli Naiyomah is a Kenyan national and Maasai warrior from an impoverished and undeveloped remote village who under unlikely odds attended the University of Oregon, Stanford University and Duke University — he is centrally responsible for 14 Cows for America, the sole official gift to United States from Republic of Kenya in memory of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The story also inspired a children's book.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]
