Meet Sr Rosalind, the nun at one of Bintan's girl's hostels and schools. She runs a spick and span operation, licking a bunch of 20+ girls into shape and maintaining the hostel without running water, a little infirmary and helping teaching with the help of two other nuns plus four lay staff.
Here she stands in front of the new well which has yet to be paid for. Apparently on Bintan, she's been able to persuade many suppliers to extend them credit so now she has been raising funds to pay off the tradespeople who've given them the well, plus for other things such as new cupboards for the girls.
A little missionary group from the parish church Immaculate Heart of Mary went to pay a visit to assess their needs and are now in the process of seeing how they can assist with financing some of the girls' education. Not all of them can afford the fees.
