Christy
Christy Darr, originally from Colorado, is a senior at Georgetown University. After working at the Perry School through the Georgetown partnership with LFFP in fall of 2008, she fell in love with the kids and the Peace Room. A semester trip to Guatemala reminded her of her many experiences with the kids and challenges in the Peace Room, so she returned to LFFP to continue learning about love and peace from the kids.
