Bruehl is a director for Dreamweaver International, a non-profit based in Northbrook with “a long and successful history of dramatic accomplishment in East Africa.” The focus of Dreamweaver’s Kenya outreach in 2015 is to provide free medical care to the underserved population in the KImana Rift Valley, educating doctors and other health care workers at the local hospital and to build Kilimanjaro Mission Hospital on Dreamweaver’s 10-acre campus.

When completed, Kilimanjaro Mission Hospital will help over a half million Maasai and other Africans have access to life saving medicine, surgery, chiropractic, physical therapy, dentistry, and other services.
