"Olarikoni ole Manyatta 1 usually spends his mornings near the Morijo bore hole with the other Maasai elders of his area. He looks like the other men. He wears his red plaid sheets and an old stocking cap. He is about 45 years old and can not yet read. The other local men call him their olaiguanani or spokesman. He became a believer recently along with many of his neighbors and extended family. The community considers him to be their key leader who is helping to bring people to become Christians. He is a Level 1 leader"
