Christmas Eve Update

This morning we went up to the school. It wasn't a normal school day, but the neighbourhood knew that we would be visiting. There are normally about 130 students, this morning there were 245 people at the school. They all got a piece of bread, a glass of juice, the youngest ones got some sorghum and they all got a candy. They were all incredibly happy, it was as if we had given them the best Christmas present ever. What an amazing way to spend Christmas.

What a different reality from here in North America where we are blessed beyond measure. I'm so happy you can bring a bit of joy to these children at Christmastime.
Thank you for spreading the joy.

Blessings from Abby & Gillian Gauthier. :)
