Mary Clare Lyons

Mary Clare Lyons is one of four children born to Carol and Charles B. Kenning of Rochester, New York. She retired from corporate America in 1995 to raise her two daughters and teach at Pittsford Mendon High School.

As a teacher, she had the opportunity to be the faculty advisor for a community service club wherein she worked on several projects with local charities. She travelled to Kenya for the first time in 2007, falling in love with the people, the country's rich and diverse history, and its breath-taking landscapes.

Mary Clare and Jack divide their time between New York, Florida and Kenya while continuing her efforts to grow and fulfill her passion for the people of Kenya.
