| Second Learning Exchange for Young Kenyans |
 GTDI just finished hosting the second group of 14 young Kenyan entrepreneurs, which consisted of eight men and six women from western Kenya. The four-week cross cultural exchange program was funded by a $373,000 U.S. Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs grant awarded to UConn's Global Training and Development Institute at the Center for Continuing Studies.
