The residents of St Francis. I've mentioned the arrival of my new housemates, so here they are. Cliff and Kathryn Eberly, who are the dear friends that told me about Refilwe and suggested I prayerfully consider spending some time here. I'm glad I did... And Sarah Wells is pictured with Kathryn on the right, as we attempted to fish for dinner one night. Cliff is working with the ACAT program, the after-care program (assisting Refilwe children with homework), and multiple other administrative things. The ACAT program helps people in the community start businesses and assists them through this process. Kathryn is working with the Hands of Hope school that is at Refilwe. Currently it is grades 7-9 and is mostly Refilwe children. However, plans are in the works to expand the school. She is teaching and will be doing counseling (which will allow her to utilize her social work background). Sarah is from the US and is at Refilwe indefinitely. She is working with the Godparents' program and the Infinite Family program (which connects children here with mentors in North America via email and video conferences). We're adjusting well and excited to be a part of what Refilwe is doing in the community.
