Since weeks the preparations were running at full speed. Christmas season is a very active and exciting time for us as it is for many others on this planet.
This year we split up our celebrations. We were going out to different places in town, loaded with presents, schoolbags, sweets, food and T-shirts to celebrate Christmas with the street kids we’d been visiting regularly. We were playing, singing and laughing together. Needless to say that we read a Christmas story to them and prayed for them. Last but not least we were having a feast with fried chicken and spaghetti.
More than 300 street kids and their families at various dates and places had been with us.
A special highlight was our Kids Church meeting one Saturday.
We’d especially invited those families hit by the terrible storms some months ago. In all those years I’ve been living on the Philippines I’d never heard the word “thank you!” as often as this one Saturday.
Children and their relatives were deeply touched by the help they received, made possible through your and other peoples’ donations.
A big “thank you” to all of you who gave towards these Christmas celebrations and the typhoon victims - you made it all possible.
It was a really happy Christmas this year for many of our friends from the streets and the slums!
