Dear friends! We’d like to tell you about our Christmas celebration.
Early in the morning our kitchen workers were preparing a holiday meal. The kids showed up smiling, wearing nice clothes. We sang songs and talked with them about the meaning of Christmas. Then all of us went to enjoy the delicious lunch. After lunch there was a special surprise for our kids – an interesting performance about a shoemaker. One day he fell asleep and saw how Jesus came up to him telling, ‘Today I will come visit you’. However the shoemaker didn’t see Jesus visiting him in person. Instead he had Jesus visiting him through a number of people, whom he welcomed in his shop and helped out. Actors of our performance have done their best and the kids were amazed. Later all of them went to the classrooms where everyone received a little gift. We truly had a wonderful day!

In a week we had a Christmas celebration with our teenagers. Guests from our district government visited us, wishing the teens ‘Merry Christmas’.
We also had lunch together that was so good! After lunch we played different games and made some beautiful handcrafts.

There was a rainy season, it was rainy every day. But God performed a miracle for us, there was no rain on the day of Christmas celebration! It was very sunny and we spent our time very well.

May Gob bless everyone who takes part in our projects!
