Things have been quiet on my end for a while! Between falling sick, having a wedding in the family, and going off to some meeting or the other, things have been pretty crazy.
Ashamedly, I haven't been to visit the homes since the last time, and so don't have any pictures to show.
Some good news though; the evaluation was finally completed, and the first young adult just breezed out of the room having finished it!
The meetings with potential partners are going well too; people seem interested in what BTCKE has to offer, and are being very helpful (much to my relief)!
I'll keep you posted; thanks again for supporting Be the Change- Kenya!

Leadership Definition
After some reflection, I came up with a definition of leadership. Of course, I feel that a leader is different based on the different situations that they face, so this was a broad definition. What do you guys think?
A great leader is someone who, in addition to enabling
others to find purpose when faced with uncertainties, also embodies certain
qualities. First of all, they know how to work well in their teams. They
recognise and respect talents and work of all team members, and are able to
effectively deal with the breaking of norms without offending or alienating any
one teammate. A good leader is self-confident, motivated, and works hard to
develop the team as a whole.
They have vision and do their work because they believe in
it, not because they have to. They are able to plan well, and inspire and
energise others in their team to commit. A good leader accepts responsibility
for the team’s failures as well as successes, and views these as learning
opportunities.
Finally, a good leader is one who is not afraid to be
unconventional in order to bring about change.
