Greetings, I am so touched by the number and responses of readers to my first letter. Thank you for following along...
Letters From Lesotho 2022

Since her first trip to Lesotho in 2004, Peg Herbert, Help Lesotho’s Founder and Executive Director, has written letters to her family, friends and supporters about her experiences and the progress of the organization. These 2022 letters are a little different. For the second time in 18 years, Peg isn’t able to be in Lesotho to write her letters. Instead she will share with you important Lesotho updates, COVID-19 developments and stories from beneficiaries on how they are faring in this incredibly difficult time.
