Esmé live together with 11 daughters in Jania. Esmé is in service since 19 January 2009. The children’s age range from 8 to 19 years.
The girls are interested in first aid, athletics, drama and the making of bangles and necklaces.
The four Dutch Reformed Churches that are involved are Parys, Koppies, Koppies-Weltevrede and Oranjeville. These congregations love taking us out on camps and other outings.
In the entrance hall are group photos of the children that have been in this house over the past years. We also have a wedding photo of one of the girls that has been here. She came back to get married out of this house.
We attend Bethlehem Dutch Reformed Church and the girls also participate in the Sunday school. Wednesday evenings, Rev. Jannie Maree presents us with Bible study. The children enjoy it very much.
The girls attend three different schools: Voortrekker High School, Truida Kestell Primary School and Maluti Hoogland School.
