It blows my mind that just a month ago I was in Rwanda with Plan Canada and Smart Water and Olympian Jen Heil. A month and 5 weddings ago. But I digress…
I say it blows my mind, not just because time seems to travel so quickly, but because it was such a jolt in my life. An injection of beauty, love, power, friendship and promise.
I said previously that I would share exactly what I was doing there. It involves, three contest winners and some visions to change the world. I have decided to let this video, created by the amazing Darcy Turenne, do the explaining.
Here are a handful of photos that I took to accompany this amazing initiative.
The three winners! Kama, Caroline + Christy:
Dancers greeted us in every village we visited.
This is a girl that Smart Water sponsors through Plan. What an experience to visit her home and meet her family.
It was only a matter of time before we were invited to participate directly in the festivities!
Jen Heil is an Ambassador of Plan and the Because I am a Girl campaign. She is also incredibly inspiring.
