Celebrating cultural exchange and youth learning side by side! Our #CFKAfrica scholarship alumni joined the Baret Scholars program this week in Nairobi, where they explored leadership, resilience, creative thinking, intentional career-building, and global readiness alongside peers from around the world. Over three days, they gained real‑world skills, broadened their perspectives, and strengthened their sense of purpose. Our youth walked away with greater clarity, confidence, and inspiration.
