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!
