Parties



We celebrated the Moslem Parties, ElFitre and ElAdha. Some of the children dressed up as pilgrims visiting Mekka and walked around a home made "Kaaba".







And also Christmas:



The children decorated the Christmas tree for the Feast.








Just befort Chrismas we bake cookies, ech one brings a recipe from his/her country.











Our Superior's Visit – one of the highlights of the Christmas season.





Four of our volunteers dressed up as kings who presented the children with Christmas gifts.
















Some Children took part in a Childrens' Orchestra and others participated in a play, by acting or touching, listening and seeing a very Colourful Childrens' Play.



A group of Franciscans sang with Father Firgus.






The Adult Chrismas Party is always a lot of fun:










The Workers and Volunteers dance, sing and sometimes act.





There are some serious parts, one of them being Sr Katherine's 'thank you' to all those working with our Children.


S
r Katherine said that 'Indeed, through all our work, our acts, our attention, our love,our kindness, the donation of our gifts and the effort to reduce the suffering of our children, we increase the capacity of humanity in our society.'
