Nelia, Rose, Sandra, and Leticia showing that balancing things on your head starts at an early age. This has been taught by our elders ever since we were very young. The more one grows, the bigger the weight one can carry.

Meet little Mirriam, one of the cute girls here at Living Compassion. She loves school, and each morning she wakes up early to come here even if her mum is not ready. So each day her mum first prepares Mirriam before she heads to work as a maid in nearby Lubuto. Mirriam is only four years old and the only daughter to her mum, who is sixteen years old.

We’ve had some late rains and are planting veggies on our new plot just outside the property. Here Charity and the other team members are preparing the land.

Some of the team members who talked to the U.S. team on Tuesday. We also walked to the part of the property which is bare now and used as a playground by the little ones. It was a fun afternoon, and everyone is looking forward to saying hello to the U.S. team again on future calls.
