News from the Village

Christmas at the Open Arms Village

The children at the Open Arms Village moved into their new homes just in time for Christmas. They were thrilled to spend their first Christmas in their brand new homes!

The families each decorated a Christmas tree, which stood in their living rooms next to fireplaces overloaded with stockings. The children woke up on Christmas morning and opened their stockings to find candy, a new t-shirt, a book, and toys. Thank you to our generous child sponsors who provided these special gifts for our children!



After opening their gifts, the families worshiped together at a church service held at the Village. They finished off the day with a delicious feast of roast ram, potatoes, sausage and coleslaw, with Christmas cookies for dessert.



We hope you and your loved ones had a lovely Christmas celebration and have a happy new year!
