Life Lessons from West Africa
AUGUST 17, 2009 MONDAY AT 3PM CT

 
 
Wisconsin graduate student Katie Krueger went to Senegal intending to improve her French and expand her knowledge of economics, but soon discovered that "Man plans, God decides." In adopting the Senegalese way of life, Katie learned to replace efficiency with meaning, eventually creating a non-profit program to feed schoolchildren in Dakar. Her book is Give With Gratitude: Lessons Learned Listening to West Africa.
