My name is Sabore Ole Oyie. I am a chief of my village, a warrior and an elder of the Maasai tribe in Kenya. I reside in Kenya, where my tribe lives a pastoral life, herding cows, goats and sheep. We move around a lot, depending on where there is water, and where there is grass for our animals to
graze.

My name is Dr. Eric L. Weiss, and it is my pleasure to introduce the portable Merlin water purifier to you. By way of background, I trained in medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, Emergency Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles, before joining the faculty in Emergency Medicine at Stanford University.
