From Mom & Dad in Baoba

Well, I think we now know how the Pied Piper felt as we walked through the streets of Baoba with LR. As we are being shown around the town and meeting all the new people she is working with, the crowd that follows keeps growing, with the teens that obviously would follow her anywhere.
It is a great feeling to see the acceptance of LR into not only their community but into their families and lives. It seems that at every other house we are told how she is their newest daughter and a major part of their families. We feel she is being well taken care of. It is apparent that she is now a major part of this small rural community, with their expectations as well as hers growing into one. As parents, it is such a joy to watch LR be a part of this community in need knowing that with each day her accomplishments with them will grow.
