HINSDALE, Ill. (WLS) – ABC7’s Tracy Butler first sat down with Kellie O’Brien of Hinsdale, more than a decade ago.

„I’m not an architect, I’m not a teacher, in fact I wasn’t even privileged enough to go to college. But I knew that this village needed a school. And so then i took an envelope out of my purse and we designed our first classroom on the back of an envelope,” O’Brien said to Tracy back in 2011.

From paper to reality, her idea came to life as the O’Brien School for the Maasai in Sanya Station, Tanzania.

The private school O’Brien founded, has been around for 17 years, transforming the lives of young children and their families.
