There are endless opportunities for KENYA Airlift recipients to learn, grow and have fun. Adventure is just one of many exciting experiences for them. One such adventure had a group of University of Alabama students who trekked to beautiful Lookout Mountain in Tennessee. This trip was an excellent opportunity for the students to get away from the academic routine and enjoy the stunning views of the mountain.
