STUTTGART, Germany – It was once stated that the journey of a thousand miles was not for the weak, but for the one who was willing to be courageously intentional about every step taken along the path.

Michael Langley expanded his campaign of learning footprint to three western region countries on the continent of Africa – Gabon, Liberia, and Nigeria.
