Learn About The Leaders
Since the virtual race to Athens, Greece began in June, three country teams have led the way in their respective divisions:
- Honduras
- Kenya
- Sweden
The Republic of Honduras
Honduras is the second largest country in Central America. According to International Living, one could easily retire to Roatán, an island off the coast of Honduras. So, enjoy a short video and learn more from Britannica.
The Republic of Kenya
Kenya’s history is multi-faceted. Britannica explains the coast was dominated by Arabs until the Portuguese took over in the 16th century. In the 1800s, the country came under British rule as a protectorate. Then in 1920, Kenya became a crown colony. Full independence came in 1963 as the sun began to set on the British Empire.

“nonalignment in peace aiming at neutrality in war.”
