Ouma Simiyu Shayo

Master of tailoring, now teaching apprentices

  • English, Spanish
I've worked in tailoring from 1981 to 2008. I learned from my older brother and passed what I could on to 1,000 apprentices. The best compliment I ever got was a customer who called me back 22 years later for another job. I never expected anything in return, but a kind word always makes my day.
