James Gichogo, a parent of children in Chamrecc School, is a miner and a cattleman.
James had been suffering from PTSD for several years prior to learning TM. He started suffering after his son had drowned in a river, and things worsened after his wife had become mentally ill. To add to that misery, he became a victim of cattle rustling: on several occasions he woke up to find all the cattle in his herd gone.
"When I heard about the benefits of TM during the introductory meeting at Chamrecc School, I was very skeptical."
James had good reason to be skeptical. "I had tried many methods of dealing with stress. A few years ago, I participated in a program called healing the wound... Through that program, I met many groups of people in Kenya, Tanzania and Rwanda who were suffering from trauma... I was myself a sufferer, but I tried to help them. It was a painful process and not very successful..."
James decided to learn TM despite the skepticism: "I felt I had nothing to lose."
James explained, “Within just a few weeks of beginning TM, I was a completely different person.... I felt like someone who had regained the ability to think and move the body after a long period of suffering paralysis... I have become a useful human being once again.”

Miners in Lolgorian, Kenya meditating.
I got in touch with the groups of stressed people in my area in Kenya and Tanzania. Many of them have now learnt TM and are enjoying relief from stress. They were so happy with initial experiences of their meditation, even from a humble start like they are in.”
“The miners promised to help fund our TM projects in the area in future once they strike gold.”
