Another cool Code Four customer.

Darek Stuj realized a long time ago that the real route to happiness was helping other people. Over the years he’s assisted homeless people, worked in orphanages in Belarus and Poland, and sponsored several Maasai Tribe children in the Kimana Village of southern Kenya. It was in this village where he conceived the ‘Kenya Project’ to bring clean drinking water to its inhabitants.

More than a dozen workers from Darek’s company, Rainbow of Magnolia Landscaping of Seattle, WA, agreed to donate an entire week’s wages to the cause. With its initial mission accomplished, the project quickly expanded to procure property and supplies for the village’s school system. Accordingly, the local community re-named the project ‘Rainbow of Magnolia – Fountains of Life.

Along the way, the organization helped establish track and soccer teams for the village’s youth, which is how we came to meet Darek. He recently supplied the kids with our Code Four Athletics brand of soccer uniforms.

The Fountains of Life folks continue to work tirelessly, focusing on education reform and improving local living conditions. Driven by Darek’s vision, they have singlehandedly renewed the hopes and dreams of these Maasai families. All of us at Code Four applaud them and their efforts.
