RENTON, Wash. -- When K.J. Wright traveled to East Africa this summer with a group of former Seattle Seahawks teammates, it was, in his words, "just to have a good time." He wanted to take a safari, see the Indian Ocean and experience a new place.
He left there feeling a calling to help the community he visited in Maasai Mara, Kenya -- and with greater life perspective.
"It shows you how fortunate you are, how blessed you are, how good you have it compared to other places in the [world]," the eighth-year linebacker said.
