Her entire life became a love fully given to another person. Today, our beloved Sister Jolanta has rested.

In 1945, she stood at the threshold of Kasisi as a barely twenty-year-old girl. She came to Zambia with one simple dream - to give her heart to those who needed it most. Kasisi became her home forever. For nearly 80 years, she raised entire generations of Kasisi.

Sr. Jolanta Bajak answered God's call in the early hours of today, August 14, 2026. Sr. Jolanta was born on February 1, 1926.

To our children, he was more than just a friend of Kasisi. He was someone who opened the doors to adult life for them. It was at Chaminuka that many of our young people took their first steps into professional life, discovering that someone believed in their abilities and was willing to give them a chance.
