Kleo and Kameleon

It is said that when right conditions exist, right actions occur, and so it is with the story of this profoundly unique synergy of Kleo and Kameleon.

Over the years I have become better Click here to read chapter 4.at speaking about how I came to be involved with the Karen people. I can almost not lose it; but that’s not a given. In sharing openly personal stories of pain, renewal, or hope, there are no rules, no givens.

↓I have come to learn that the sharing of life chronicles devoid of an opportunity for the flow of emotions results in half-tales. So it was that my story unfolded, in the privacy of Jill’s office, where freedom of emotion allowed for a full narration in a conference call with four people I had never met and could not see.

Jill Anguaya’s creative intuitive nature

It is Jill Anguaya’s creative intuitive nature that is the beginning of the Kleo—Kameleon relationship. When I picked up the phone in early October of 2012 the heart bursting excitement in Jill’s voice was uncontrollable. Something about a letter she had written to a friend and supplier Bob Smith. Her enthusiasm about his wanting to meet with me was exuberant. Not understanding the basis for her excitement but knowing Jill I found myself caught up in the fervour of the moment just because well… because it’s Jill. A meeting…maybe a conference call…jewel pops…come to her office!

Jill's email to Bob Smith

Hi Bob,

We are SO excited that you guys are into this idea. I spoke to Coleen and she would love to talk – if you have time later today then she is available, and so am I. She is always super busy and dedicates all of her time to Karen people both here and in Thailand and I know that when she is getting ready to leave on a trip she fills her days with as much as possible so that things run smoothly while she is away. She leaves for Thailand early November, so timing is so perfect right now! Oh boy! I have had goosebumps since you called!!

I think I should let you know a little bit about the connection between Coleen and I so that when we are talking it doesn’t come up and potentially derail the conversation unexpectedly-I was best friends with Coleen’s only daughter, Jennifer, growing up here in Ottawa.

Jen went to teach English in Thailand and fell in love with the Karen people of the Mountain villages, and when she wasn’t busy teaching in Chiang Mai she would go up and volunteer at the one tiny school- that didn’t have a proper roof, so no classes during rainy season…… Jen died tragically and unexpectedly while in Thailand seven years ago. In lieu of flowers, Coleen had asked friends and family to make donations so that when she went to Thailand to bury Jen she could bring something to the people that Jen was working with….So long story short, it has become Coleen’s life work to continue the path she knows Jen was on. The boarding house in Chiang Mai where village students can come into town to live while going to high school is called Jen’s House, and that’s what we have been fund-raising for over the years.

To Bob after our conference call

I met Jill in the mid eighties; a spirited young girl, a school friend of my daughter. Although the course of their lives took them in different directions Jenny and Jill remained good friends. Since Jen’s passing our relationship has grown and Jill’s friendship continues to be a source of personal support. Jill and husband, Jacinto have put their family’s unparalleled commitment to global social awareness into action supporting KLEO’s work. Through their retail business Quichua they continue to raise awareness and support for the Karen people.
