For no particular reason I remember eating the &#8220;London&#8221; breakfast meal at McDonalds amongst my exploration of the beautiful airport. Having a seven hour layover really built the anticipation of getting on that last flight and arriving back in DC.

I wanted to challenge the students to pursue honor as their primary pursuit as leaders rather than power. Power is everything in Kenyan culture. Power also is responsible for the prolific corruption at every level of leadership in Kenyan culture.
