Jackie Weiss

Jackie grew up in a small town north of Los Angeles and moved to Sonoma County in 2005. She visited Tanzania in 2008, where she volunteered at a nursery school in the morning, and decided to visit Tuleeni Orphanage with Eric and Amy the first week they were there. They all fell in love and went back almost every afternoon for the duration of their stay.  Upon her return home, Jackie got a phone call from Eric about hosting a big fundraiser to build Tuleeni a new home. Since that day, she has taken charge to get us where we are today. Four years later, she was able to return to Tanzania and found the inspiration and motivation to take the next step by creating The Faraji Foundation.
