Barry Simmons was a local television reporter in Nashville, Tennessee when he met Milton over coffee one day in December 2005. By the second cup he began to consider leaving his job to see where Milton's story would lead. Two years of unemployment, hundreds of video tapes, one night in a Kenyan jail, and cases of ramen noodles later, Barry had directed and produced the full length documentary "Sons of Lwala," which tells Milton and Fred's story from the inception of their father's dream, through their mother and father's deaths, to the opening day of the Ochieng' Memorial Lwala Community Health Center.

Check out the Sons of Lwala website for more information about the film, and to buy tickets to the special preview screening in Nashville on March 27th, 2008. Once the film is officially released, we'd love to help you show the film in your community. Please contact us to arrange a screening. The film will also be available for purchase on our site starting in October.

Your support is vital to sustaining our existing programs and to rolling out our exciting new initiatives in water, HIV/AIDS, maternity and medical education. Your donation helps provide these necessary services, but it does more than that. Your support helps to empower the people of Lwala - to provide jobs, training, education, and improved health that will make the future brighter for all of Lwala.
