Carolyn Tague, President

President & Founder

Carolyn Tague

Anchorage, Alaska, USA


Carolyn was a Special Education teacher for thirty-two years.  Her  sense of adventure brought her to Alaska in 1991. The Lemong'o Project  began with Carolyn's life-long draw to Africa and her dream of helping  children there. In the summer of 2005 she  visited for the first time to volunteer with a service group. Each year  thereafter, she returned to volunteer, and in 2007 her journey led her  to the village of Lemong'o. She formed the non-profit organization, The  Lemong'o Project, in 2011 to address the  educational, medical, health, and economic needs of the village. The  beautiful people of Lemong'o have become her African family.

Vice President

Mary Ann Domanska
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA


Mary Ann first visited Lemong'o in 2024, where she spent time teaching at Belgrove Primary School. During her stay, she brought books, school supplies, and shared her love of music and education, donating more than 40 recorders to students and teachers alike. Inspired by her experience, she remained closely connected to the community and later collaborated with George Amadeus to co-author and publish Nge and the Magical Drums, a Maasai folktale. Mary Ann is honored to serve as Vice President of the Board and is deeply committed to supporting the mission and ongoing work of The Lemong'o Project.


Treasurer

Bryan Stenehjem
Anchorage, Alaska, USA


Bryan is Carolyn’s husband and he strives to support her in any and all aspects of The Lemong'o Project.  He sees the joy and fulfillment Carolyn receives from  working with and giving to the people of Lemong'o. He knows that her  life would be incomplete without this opportunity to help those that  truly need assistance. Bryan’s involvement with the project has been  through providing support from the States, but he does plan to  visit the village soon. 

Secretary

Nicole Lamb

Fort Coliins, Colorado, USA


Nicole visited Lemong'o in 2013 and volunteered in the school during her stay. She worked enthusiastically with the children, sharing her teaching skills and learning from the village teachers as well. The people of Lemong'o warmly welcomed her as one of their own. After visiting the village, Nicole was eager to join The Lemong'o Project. Since 2013, she has shared her time and talents to help the Project reach its goals. 

Director

Lisa Hubert

Eagle River, Alaska, USA


Lisa began volunteering with The Project in 2014 organizing fundraising events. In 2015 she visited Lemong'o and put her teaching skills to work in the classrooms. Before her visit, Lisa prepared a lesson for each grade level. The lessons were a BIG hit! The students still remember "teacher Lisa" and the fun activities she did with them. The people of Lemong'o warmly welcomed Lisa to the village and expressed their gratitude for her hard work and love for their children.
