The
Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary Welcome You
Baitlami ba Mabitso a halalelang Jesu le Maria ba le amohela
Ficksburg, South Africa
Five sisters work in this area of South Africa as educators and farmers. The sisters share drinking water from the well on the farm, advise and read instructions for the neighboring farmers on planting and crops, and share their harvest.
The
sisters also teach catechism to the chidren of the farmers. There
is great delight in working with the young children.
As
the number of orphans increase because their parents have died of HIV/AIDS
the sisters are challenged to find ways of helping them. The sisters also
assist children who are poor with their school fees.
With
the tremendous increase in the number of teens having many children the
sisters are spending time educating young people on morality, responsibilites
of parenting, sexuality and self-control.
