Hello Ensworth Family and Friends,
The Ensworth crew leaves tomorrow morning for nearly 24-hour flight around the world to Kenya. WLS instructors Rebecca Brown and Chris Lindstrom, along with WLS ground coordinator Shani Ole Petenya Yusuf, have spent the last few days in the Masai community of Oloika preparing. "It is absolutely beautiful here," said Chris Lindstrom, as he spoke with our office this morning via sat phone.
I have also had many conversations over the last few days with John Faulkner, John Picklesimer and Sarah Buchanan, who said to me this evening: "People from Ensworth like to be the pioneers -- that is our culture." That is the kind of wonderful spirit we really appreciate here at World Leadership School. We have an exciting project and a community that is eager to receive our volunteers -- there will be obstacles and glitches along the way but I am confident this crew can overcome them and learn a lot in the process.

The mission of the World Leadership School is to unite young people around the world’s most pressing problems and empower them to become leaders. We use volunteering as a platform for teaching global issues and leadership.
World Leadership School partners with schools to offer 1-4 week service learning trips to Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Belize, Peru and the French Caribbean island of Guadeloupe. Each program is custom-fit to the needs of each school but includes the following key elements: On a World Leadership School trip, students focus on a single global issue like climate change or poverty. Students advance from understanding to action by working alongside inspiring local leaders who are doing something about these problems. Along the way, students will look inside themselves and begin a personal leadership journey. |
