Amina

Amina with her 3 children, Beto-2, Gabriel-10, Helena-7 and neice, Estefania-10 (in aqua shirt). Amina is a friend who has helped a few of us to do housekeeping and laundry for the past year in Pemba. In April 2006 we helped her buy a new house after hers was washed away in a heavy rainstorm. Her original home was a one room dwelling of bamboo and mud.
Amina's new finished house! (December 2006) Most people in Mozambique cannot afford to make their homes secure with good doors, windows and cement, but God provided for her through a visiting team.

We had curtains made as a Christmas gift for Amina to hang on her new windows that were installed before the cement went on the walls.

A few of us went to celebrate with a chicken dinner to bless Amina in her new home. (L to R) Laura, me, Varya, Emelyn

Xima (kind of like mashed potatoes but made from corn meal) and chicken with sauce. Yummy!!
