I’m taking the photo, but they’re all looking at Lulu.
My daughter Lulu is a lulu. She’s 21, smart, sweet, street-savvy, beautiful, funny and kind. And I’m not taking credit for that. She came that way.
See what I mean?
I was totally jazzed about taking Lulu to Rwanda with me, because I wanted her to experience some of what I’ve been seeing and learning all year long on this amazing journey with Heifer. 
But I was a little worried that it would be too emotionally intense or just too physically exhausting. (And of course, we hadn’t been getting along all that well for most of the summer.) 
Turns out, I had nothing to worry about. Lulu was a complete trooper — she never complained about having to get up at 7 a.m. and be out in the countryside til 7 p.m., never seemed bored for a minute, and was polite and sweet with everyone (even me!).
I was so proud of her, and so happy she could share this experience with me. 
These are her favorite photographs from Rwanda. 
And here’s an English proverb she loves:
“The soul is healed by being with children.”
Hope we’ll be back soon!
And now…. I’m off to Armenia!
