Inem and Fifi

Our lovely, dedicated house staff! They make our lives here very happy and enjoyable, not to mention bearable when we are still having trouble with the language. On the left in yellow is Fifi. She is our newest addition. She lives here with us in the staff quarters which is kind of like a mini apartment attached to the side of our house. She stays here with the kids when Mike and I go out for evenings and helps with the children at other random times when I must leave and the kids can't come along or they just don't want to. Often the kids don't want to come because traffic is so bad and they know they will just be sitting in a car forever! Fifi also does a lot of the daily household cleaning and laundry. In the blue shirt on the right is Inem. She is WONDERFUL! She does all our cooking, grocery shopping, washing of fruits and vegetables. She also does much of the house cleaning and is just the general housekeeper. She makes sure that everything is done and done on time. She is just terrific! She was the first person we hired here, I just had a really good feeling about her and now we know why.
