REFILWE--the outside

Refilwe, Life for All--this is where I am and I love it.

It's been a crazy first week! I can't believe it's only been one week. Organizing and filing and planning with the Home-based Care team has been my main priority. It's quite an uphill task, due to the lack of staffing to support them previously. But, I accept the challenges that are ahead. More on work-related thoughts later...




This is the front of my house. It is like all the houses where the families and some of the staff live. They are currently renovating a house where I will move and the Eberly's will join me there when they arrive.





This is the community hall. It is used for Bible studies in the morning, the aftercare program (an after school program to assist children with homework and teach them new things as well), church, youth activities on Saturdays, meetings, and everything else that comes up.

This is a view of the creek that runs through the middle of the Refilwe property. On one side are the offices and homes of the Refilwe families and on the other side are the larger community projects and programs, including the community hall, the daycare, gardens, some staff homes, and primary schools. It's very green and muddy right now because it's the rainy season (end of summer heading into winter).

Now, I know what you're all thinking...there aren't any people at Refilwe! No, that's not true. In fact, how I managed to get these pictures without people in them is somewhat of a miracle. More pictures of people later...
