Last June, CGG told you about the “sassy singer with a big heart” Lucy Woodward upon the release of her genre-defying CD, Lucy Woodward is...Hot & Bothered.
Lucy has since returned home to New York City following a humanitarian visit to an orphanage of children who’d lost their parents to HIV-related illnesses in Nairobi, Kenya, and a shelter in Rwanda, where she her visit touched the lives of women who are still traumatized by the country’s 1994 genocide.
Over lunch in Manhattan’s Union Square – not far from the Canal Room, where Lucy will be playing a gig on September 24 – the singer couldn't wait to tell CGG all about her "enlightening and rewarding experience." She smiled a lot as she shared tales and photos of her time in Africa.
Soon after our meeting, Lucy followed up by emailing some outtakes from the journals she wrote during her trip. The result: A beautifully crafted view of what it’s like to Do Something for those who really need love, companionship – even something as simple as a hug or a smile. We here at CGG were truly touched by Lucy’s story; we know you will be too. Get inspired after the jump .

I really urge CGG fans to read this lovely account from a fabulous singer. It is another example of how Doing Something really isn't a selfless act -- it's a selfISH act, because those who give back almost always end up feeling as good as those on the receiving end.
Don't forget to check out Lucy's African diaries after the jump!
I have to say, this story really made me feel lucky.
