Civil war in Kafra left the small African country in total devastation. Those who survived were faced with hopelessness and solitude. As a result, they held fast to their guns, the only tools they knew how to use, which resulted in indiscriminate hijackings, robbery, bribery, corruption, and scams.

Ken witnessed such incidents during his struggle to leave Kafra for the UK. On his return, he became aware that the culprits had become very rich, powerful, and lawless at the detriment of the honest and hardworking minority. Driven by anger to transform it, he realized that the philosophy that he acquired during a chance meeting with a professor on a park bench in London was indispensable for change from within.

The Buddhist teachings elucidate the principles of cause and effect and change from within. Ken single-mindedly initiated the revolution that transformed households, families, communities, and a country—a real departure.
