Mamas' Afternoon TEA

This was taken at a Sunday afternoon tea that Kat, Sarah, and I prepared for the Mamas at Refilwe. We had tea and coffee, small sandwiches, tea biscuits with fruit, and banana bread. Pictured above are myself, Mama Albertina, Mama Kevine, Mama Hope, and two women who were visiting for the weekend from Port Elizabeth. The one on the far right was Miriam and she runs a house of about 25 children. Her children are with her for life and have come from all types of horrible circumstances. All the Mamas shared their stories and experiences and encouraged one another in the work that they are doing. I was overwhelmed by the faith and strength that these women demonstrate in their lives every day. Funny, how our goal is to encourage and the Mamas always encourage us in exchange!
