Dear friends,
 
Holiday greetings from the Laugharn family! 2015 has been a good year for us - see below for a small album of pictures.
 
We have moved to Agoura Hills near Los Angeles, where Peter will become the President of the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation in January.  The Hilton Foundation funds work on homelessness, foster youth, and substance prevention in Los Angeles, on water and vulnerable children in Africa, and also supports Catholic Sisters in the United States and in Africa.  

Marie started the year introducing a group of graduate students from the Middlebury Institute of International Studies to Rwanda in January.  In June and July, we were back in Rwanda for a four week family visit, followed by a week in The Hague and London. 

Marc is 19 and in his year at Harvey Mudd College in Los Angeles, where he is majoring in computer science.  Lily and Kate will be 15 in February. They are ninth graders at Agoura High School, and both are learning French (there goes their parents' secret language!).
 
We hope your year has been good, and your holiday season brings you together with people you care about.
- Peter, Marie, Marc, Lily, and Kate Laugharn
