MIke Meegan, International director and founder of ICROSS says this about Lemoite:
The people with the best social skills do not even need to speak. One of my adopted sons in Africa is called Lemoite, ‘he who is everlasting’. Lemoite is a serene and gentle Samburu from the northern deserts of Kenya. He has always been a magnet for creation. Wild wart hogs played with him as a child, near his home he ran between the baby elephants and their mothers in Seketet, and angry guard dogs came to him like puppies, stilled by him. Birds and butterflies sat on his shoulder and Dikdiks and gazelles would come at his call. People are drawn to him in an unspoken relationship, effortless and innate. Perhaps it is a serenity that speaks to something inside us or a harmony as yet unstudied but I have few examples of such social power. Social intelligence is rooted in respect, self possession, delight in others and an insatiable appetite to embrace the stranger. There are in fact no strangers, only people waiting to be friends.
