The women chose Blackpool for their weekend reunion in honour of their former teacher, Sean Gallagher.
Sean and his family lived in Zambia when he was teaching there several decades ago. The family now runs Parks Cafe
They all credit Sean with helping to shape their lives.
The women have gone on to establish good careers in many parts of the world.
Sean and his family hosted their tea and to the surprise of other visitors to the cafe, the women showed their thanks in the typical African way - through song and dance.
Our UK coordinator, Elizabeth Gomm, is a friend of Sean and his family and as she is a keen photographer Sean asked her to record the the occasion.
When the women heard that she was connected with their own continent and of our amazing Happy House they had a collection which raised £45.
They were interested to know more about Mama Sue and her work at Happy House and each went home with one of our leaflets
