Preventing the Orphan Spirit in Africa

Preventing the Orphan Spirit in Africa

by Lulu Stories | Mar 13, 2023 | Happenings in Liberia, Orphan Spirit, Our Vision, The Lulu Tree philosophy

By Emily It’s an epidemic etched on the eyes of Liberia’s street children. They reach into cars at red lights, steal what they can. They steal because they’re taught to. Not by their fathers, but rather, by their fathers’ absence. When we enter the villages with our...

Candles in a Liberian Village – West Africa Trip, November 2022

by Lulu Stories | Dec 5, 2022 | Happenings in Liberia, Uncategorized

By Emily It’s been a day of riding motorbikes across red dirt roads pocked with potholes the size of ravines. We pass trucks that have sunk, immovable, in these crevices. Young boys scrape at their wheels, covered head to foot with mud, exhaustion streaking their...

Overcoming Obstacles in Liberia

by Lulu Stories | Jul 5, 2021 | Happenings in Liberia, Uncategorized

By Mommy Emily It was evening in the town of Zorzor, Liberia. The air inside the church was thick with sweat and praise. Arms raised, feet moving, bodies swaying, shoulder to shoulder. Up front, Pastor David Zawu was deep in the Spirit, leading the people by calling...
