Christmas Hampers......
Santa answers all those thoughtful questions.
Are you real? Is your beard real? How did you get here?
I love you Santa!
Betty and Liz are busy wrapping gifts.
Love Guatemala worked with a local
elementary school in Abbotsford in December.
A dozen volunteers arrived at the school December 8th
to help the students write letters to Santa, the Canadian
Armed Forces and an orphanage. It was great to interact with
the kids. We also made 400 cups of hot chocolate and handed out
cookies.
On December 15th, we helped with a Christmas Store.
Each of the students could come to the gym and pick out a gift
for those living in their household. It was fun. The wrapping of the gifts
was more difficult as we had no boxes, so glassware and the like were
wrapped very carefully. Large items were disguised in garbage bags.
The smiles on the faces of the children was worth it all. Thank you to
all of you who donated gifts...the selection was great!
Even Santa made an appearance.....anyone recognize the man from the
North Pole?????
We also had families, care groups and businesses donate food
and gifts for 13 hampers for needy
families from the school.
