Lady Winifred Chesterman, wife of the renowned missionary doctor, Sir Clement Chesterman, was in her own right a superb Froebel-trained infant teacher and a highly respected missionary to the people of Yakusu, in what was then the Belgian Congo. From 1920 until 1936 Winifred loved, taught and mothered hundreds of Congolese children. Yet she also had five children of her own, five children who were always central to her heart, and for whom after 1936 she would successfully build a happy united family. Here Hazel Phillips, Winifred's fifth and youngest child, writes of what she knows of her mother's life. She tells of growing up in a united happy family and of her mother's devoted service both to her own children and to children everywhere. Hazel herself would have severe health problems and would especially appreciate her mother's steadfast care.
