Lindsay Lohan returned to the U.S. on Saturday, following a weeklong visit to some of India's most impoverished areas, where she filmed a documentary for the British broadcaster, the BBC, about the trafficking of women and children in the south Asian country.
"Lindsay is home from India now. I am so proud of her for going," Dina Lohan told PEOPLE Sunday of her daughter, who arrived at Los Angeles International Airport on Saturday.
While in India, Lohan's itinerary included a visit to the Sanlaap women's and children's shelter outside Calcutta, which houses young women and girls who were victims of trafficking and other forms of exploitation. While at the facility, Lohan spent about three hours visiting with residents, as well as watching dance performances by the children. At one point, Lohan also donned a bindi – a forehead decoration common in India – after bonding with many of the girls, who wore bindis themselves.
Lohan also visited hospitals, where she met with sick children and gave them gifts.
The actress traveled around India with a four-person BBC crew and her friend, stylist Patrick Aufdenkamp, who tweeted earlier this week, "Can't wait for everyone to see the documentary of [Lindsay] with the incredibly brave children we met on our journey."
And Lohan herself took to Twitter to espouse the virtues of helping those less fortunate. Visiting India was "the most amazing time of my life," she wrote. "Focusing on celebrities and lies is so disconcerting, when we can be changing the world one child at a time.... hope everyone can see that."
