Nice article, great story, but it would have been even better to have had a picture of Leah included as well. It was fascinating to learn of her inspiring - and aspiring - goals for her future. Kudos to the Allen's, Wright's, Tiny, and all others that helped Leah's "famous" dream start on it's way! Leah's story is proof positive that the "pay it forward" concept really DOES work.

Excellent article. Thank you for giving space to the wonderful happenings in our Midst. I know and love Leah, the Wrights, and the Allens. Leah has the character traits and ability to become the Leah of Lesotho and bless others lives in many ways. We are so fortunate to know her and have her as a neighbor and friend. Thanks again!
