We are the urban experiment… the seed that died and went into the ground. Urban Pioneers… many who have purposefully uprooted from comfortable suburbia and relocated their homes and base of operations into one of the most blighted and dangerous zip codes in the U.S. 64127, Lykins Neighborhood, Kansas City. We have put down our stake for the youth, the poor, and the next generation. We are here to mine the gold of human potential. We are cultivating the life of the inner-city. The Police helicopter is our favorite bird. Neighborhood meetings are our drama. Falling crime stats are our touchdown cheer. Hope is sprouting right out of the cracks in the asphalt. Just to see people walking their dogs around the block again is a sign of good things to come. Stay tuned for the great adventures to come as we document our journey from the inner-city out to some of the most difficult places on earth. See it all unfold as we give this mission everything we’ve got, no plan b.
