The Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary Welcome You
Baitlami ba Mabitso a halalelang Jesu le Maria ba le amohela

Oom Japie Farm
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.
