Description
A group of women and children are outside working in the land. Some women are holding large pots on their heads while others are holding flat items in their hands. There is a thatched hut nearby and the area seems to be fenced in.
The back of the postcard is blank with the caption: "8. - Lulenga Tongres Ste-Marie. - Quelques internes des Soeurs Blanches au travail. Aan't werk in de Missie der Witte Zusters." There is also printed information about the Catholic mission agency: "Postulats des Soeurs Missionnaires de N.D. d'Afrique (Soeurs Blanches) Herent (Br.)- Thielt (Fl. Oc.)"
