He takes us inside the day-to-day realities of a rules-based system, reflects on the contrast with the protest-filled United States of the 1960s, and shares how field research in townships—and the subsequent loss of his visa—sparked a four-month overland trek to London that became...

  <p>Send us a text</p><p>What if the exchange trip you took as a teenager ended up saving your life years later? We sit down with Kamal Kenny from Malaysia to trace a journey that starts in Interact, winds through Rotary’s Group Study Exchange in California, and collides with a medical crisis that would test anyone’s limits.
