This year’s party was awesome … we had more than a thousand join us at the sports stadium to celebrate Christmas …

Our staff and volunteers led the entire stadium in singing Christmas carols … it was a lot of fun.
Our children performed in a nativity play …

 


This year we were a bit worried that we may not have enough gifts for the children … but God is so faithful and we found that we had more in our stock room than we were expecting and every time we though we had the last of them, we would find another box of toys in our store room … it was awesome … God is faithful.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As always, the jolly jumper and Jollibee performance were great hits among the kids.

You always know when the jolly jumper has been opened to the kids because you can hear shrieks of joy and laughter echoing all around the stadium.

The children are also always so fascinated with the Jollibee and Hetty Spaghetti dance performance.

The children, and staff alike, loved having their photo taken with Jollibee!

 

 

 

 

This year’s party was very different and exciting in that the event was catered for buffet style!

The buffet made every parent and child feel very special because most of them had never experienced a buffet meal before and certainly never stepped foot inside a restaurant. Yet, here they were, being served by waiters in suits and ties and being treated like royalty! It was great to be able to restore a little of their dignity and bless them with a huge lunch.

 

Wow! This year’s cheering competition was phenomenal! It was definitely the highlight of the event. Every eye was glued on the stage at this time.

There was so much improvement from Inayawan and every area showed so much creativity. The cemetery parents were the winners for the third year in a row. Their performance included ladders, lit candles, a coffin, a father dressed as a corpse jumping out of the coffin, and even fireworks!

Every parent who participated in the competition received a great food pack to bless their family over Christmas.

It was so great to see the parents getting so involved in the event this year.

Thank you streamers
