Delayed at JFK until 7:55

We are currently delayed at JFK until 7:55, however, this begins the deep conversations about what we will find and do while in South Africa. A big goal of traveling to the developing world is to try to understand contextual factors in which people have to live and operate in. These factors are often different than the factors and/or variables that we in the more developed world have to live in. We face a different set of challenges in the USA given the age of our country. We must respect and learn to understand that young Democracies, especially one that is nearly 16 years old may not be as advanced as the West.
