Saying or writing that I knew what I wanted to do with my life would be one of those famous white lies that people tell. For the longest time coming, I was not living, I was surviving, I was not thriving I was existing. I was one of those guys who would let life happen to him instead of making life happen. I remember making those popular personal timetables back in school, I would even pin them on the locker so that everyone can see that I was also in the league of elites. In one way or the other, whether good luck or sheer tenacity *I wasn’t sure which was which back then* I managed to get to campus. (more…)

When I joined Lapid, I badly wanted a change, I needed something that would positively engage my mind and give me an opportunity to see something that was working out in my life. (more…)
PART ONE: I AM A LAPID LEADER
This is why we exist, we exist to be catalyst of transformational experiences! This is a great testimonial by one of the Lapid Leaders!
It has been a while since my last blogpost. A lot of things have happened, all I can say is that 2015 has been a defining year for me. Every experience has been amazing but there is one particular experience that I will talk about. It has really transformed me and has been an eye opener.

What I learned at the Lapid Leaders Seminar
Written by Wanjiru Mburu
Last week I had the opportunity to attend a seminar, I felt different about this one so I was super excited.
