VenezuelaMichael and Keila Dawson
Along with taking care of Michael and Mia, Keila is director of the Yanomamö School and teaches preschool Yanomamö children. She enjoys her work, but is constantly having to defend her position and her school from the department of education. There is a hard effort right now to shut down all Christian schools in the country and especially those with the indigenous people. Keila is currently training some Yanomamö teachers to take over her job as director which will leave her more time to spend with the children.
Michael is the author of “Growing up Yanomamö” a book detailing his experiences growing up with the fascinating Yanomamö.

Michael and Keila Dawson are missionaries to the Yanomamo Indians in the Amazonas region of Venezuela. Michael was born in the middle of the Amazon Jungle in a small missionary base called TamaTama, on the Orinoco River. On the 12th of February 2006 all missionary flight programs were terminated in Amazonas Venezuela and the airplanes were taken out of the country. Currently we are the only evangelical missionaries still working in Indian areas in Venezuela. Mission Padamo Aviation and Support has been formed to fill the void caused by the other mission agencies having to leave the country.
