When in need of a caring person with motherly instincts yet has no child of her own look no further. Anna is the most concerned and caring individual that I have ever encountered and yet she does not make it a big deal. At one moment you will find her moving to every room in Effatha to invite people for meals and she will make sure that we have spared some food for each person not present at the table on that day. One evening while the heavy dark clouds pregnant with rain were gathering in the sky, I noticed her face full of concern and restlessness. She came to me in a speed equivalent to running to inform me about the clothes drying outside in the yard that were unattended. Although, I had all the reasons to brush off the idea of getting them to some sheltered place, I could not resist her persuasion. Anna will talk you out of any conflict in the most non-violent way and yet with a bit firmness enshrouded with love. This affirms the words on our charter: “Core members have gifts and leadership that the world needs…” Did I mention that she is the best at miming –such a talent!
