In 2011, Steve McGown was kidnapped at a hostel in Timbuktu, and it was a start of an excruciating 6-year journey beating harsh living conditions, staying alive and believing the one thing that may get him through - hope!
Members were enjoying dinner and with one another when a group of “terrorists” stormed the venue. Participants were blindfolded and ushered into a warehouse. As we immersed ourselves into the event, a disconcerting feeling started creeping in. When we were told to remove our blindfolds, Steve McGown came onstage to share his 6-year ordeal.
As Steve McGown shared, members were taken on a rollercoaster ride of emotions. This experiential once-in-a-lifetime learning experience gave members a taste of the volatility of the situation, and an intimate peek into the strength of the human spirit. Inspiring!
