- Children sweeping the grounds outside the former infirmary at Antioka (in Facazisse) in late 1995, where classes were being held until the reconstruction of the Antioka school was completed. After independence, Swiss Mission properties were nationalized by the Frelimo government. During the war, Antioka sheltered large numbers of displaced families from the surrounding countryside and served for a time as a government garrison, but it was also the target of brutal Renamo attacks aimed as much at destroying church property as at terrorizing soldiers and civilians.
