Maysa Ezzat Hammoud In 2017, I came to Shela to provide educational services to a grassroots charity organization. Instead, I ended up discovering the beauty of the Shela Swahili community along with the impending need to help preserve this authentic culture and religion from outside forces. In doing so, I put together a team of different skills to document, architect and hopefully preserve this hidden gem not yet appreciated by most of humanity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8faad93aa0a809438048cb/1586482915002-WZROC68AIMMYZNTE003C/Rakan+DiarBakerli Our Team - Rakan DiarBakerli Tobias Keene, D.D.S.

I’m taking a huge responsibility in turning the tremendous quality of education of the madrassa, that I got himself, into a facility of equally immense infrastructural quality. I love playing and watching football. I love my job as an architect and leading tangible projects which is in line with my character. I love helping people in whatever way I can. I love making a difference to as many people as I can before I die. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8faad93aa0a809438048cb/1588639469736-EEFC9GC2SPUJ40DZZ31I/El+Khatib Our Team - Ahmad El Khatib Ahmad El Khatib is a civil engineer with a passion for visual storytelling. He was first drawn to this project by Maysa’s description of the wondrous community of Shela Town. As a member of the team, Ahmad was primarily responsible for capturing the photographs displayed throughout the campaign as well as the published articles highlighting the unique facets of this community. He hopes that the emphasis on visual content in this project helps to transport you to the coast of Kenya and that you fall in love with the community as he did. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8faad93aa0a809438048cb/1586482715797-IM4H1IJWMBSJW92JL6OB/Ali+Al-Amoudy Our Team - Ali Al-Amoody Ali Ahmad Mohmmad Al-Amoody was born in Shela, Lamu in the year 1980. He is the son of the late Sheikh Ahmad Mohammad Umar Al-Amoody who was the head teacher of Madrasatul Huda. His father took over the management of the Madrasa after the death of his father; the late sheikh Mohamed Omar Ahmed Al-Amoody. Apart from being Muslim School teacher, both the father and the grandfather were also imams of the Shela Friday mosque at the same time authors of both Islamic books and Arabic poetry. Historically the family have consistently been involved in communal affairs and focused in combating social vices and advocating for proper Islamic upbringing. From his childhood Ali accompanied his father to various religious gatherings, a move that was perceived to objectively prepare him to advance the same course in future. Ali joined Shela primary school in 1990 after attaining basic Islamic education. While in the primary school, Ali also managed to complete his secondary studies in the same madrasah. Currently, Ali is employed with Lamu County Government as the County Director in charge of Trade, Investment and Culture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8faad93aa0a809438048cb/1586483356431-9K7ECDBURH5ZHAIQYAUX/LAMU%252BSHELA-691.jpg Our Team - Omar Abdullah Al-Ubeidy Omar Abdullah Al-Ubeidy is the deputy principal of Madrasatul Huda and is the imam for the town’s weekly Jummah (Friday) Sermon.
