Picturing Hope in Tanzania

Jen, her eight-year-old son and eleven-year-old daughter, and I leave for Tanzania at the end of this week for our next self-guided Picture Hope assignment. We'll be focused on sharing the story of Mama Lucy Kamptoni and Shepherds Junior, a small primary school in Arusha she started with chicken and egg money and expanded with support from our Fair Content partner, Epic Change. I'm curious to see how this journey will differ from our experience in Rwanda, and so eager to sink back into Africa.

I wonder about that girl in the doorway. Jen Lemen. I'm eager to see what unfolds for her as she makes room for so much more.
