The teacher is Miss Margaret Barbara McNab who arrived at Mihecani in 1916. She opened and ran the boarding school and worked at the mission for many years. Mihecani station was established in the Alto Molocue district of Lomweland, Portuguese East Africa [Mozambique], in 1913, and was situated near the Namuli Mountain.
