This is not the Kenya of big skies and herds of animals. It is real life, up close as seen by residents of one of Africa's most violent and dire corners.

"We put the challenges in bite-size chunks, but that adds up," says founder Jason Karas...
...plans for 12, 15 years down the road,” Shapiro said. “This is a push to make sure the resident deans and students now get first-class treatment.” Last month, the College announced plans for a $1 billion-plus House renovation project that will take place over the course of 15 years, beginning as early as 2011.
