Granddaughter Eliza attended a day camp at James Madison University this week, and the theme was Ghandi's message of nonviolence. On Friday, the last day, the campers gave a presentation for family members, an opportunity to share what they had learned. A handful of campers read a letter they had written seeking peace. Others took turns sharing Ghandi's message, his biography and also a list of his followers. Eliza, however, opted to do her own thing and sang a song she'd learned in church about peace. "I thought about what to write," she said. "And then I realized this song was perfect." She was scared. Just two weeks shy of her seventh birthday, this was her first public solo. A music teacher listening in, however, said she did a great job.
