"
The EFT to Kenya was a life-changing experience. Immersing myself in the culture and meeting local communities, I learned to see the world through a new lens. It's the kind of education you simply can't get from a textbook.

The program challenged me in ways I couldnât have imagined while providing the most incredible home base to return to. I came back to Pepperdine a different person âmore curious, more confident, and more alive."
