In his talk, his grace Archbishop Buti Tlhagale said that Domitilla, the founder of Little Eden, found spiritual relief in her work of charity.
“We all need some inspiration to do the work we do. Love has to be one of the sources of our inspiration. It was love that was needed to avoid the Life Esidimeni tragedy. The absence of love destroys organisations and the people who stay there,” he said.
