Let Westgate horror open our eyes to rebuild Kenya

How delusion of self-importance holds us back
Across human history, there has been a single lesson for all societies. Those that failed to grasp it suffered hugely, and inflicted massive pain on many. And yet, still, in 2013, it is the plague of our species that we so often cannot appreciate this single point, and live by it.

Transformers often pay a hefty price for our comfort
Several weeks back, across the space of a few days, I sat before a row of videos declaring the vision and ideals of three different organisations. They were each inspiring, yet all with a common thread: celebrating the change-for-good brought by those who dare to be different and to innovate.
