This year we decided that for the first time, the children
from our school on the beach, (mentioned in my last blog) and the other children from the village
should be treated to a Christmas Party. We held the party on Sunday December 4th
and it was a tremendous success. Santa
appeared and the children were thrilled, as were their parents. We played old-fashioned party games and had an amazing selection of food. The children then
danced the night away. A huge success.

On Sunday November 27th, we hosted children from
a children’s home just outside Colombo that we support to a day on the beach. We paid for their transport form the Home
and gave them fun in the sea and a great meal. They went home very happy.
Last week, we went to the Orphanage we have supported for 11
years. We were entertained by singing
and dancing.
The very poorest pre-school children go to our local nursery
school. They came to our party on the
beach and on our penultimate day in Sri Lanka, we bought them all ice-creams
and gave them vouchers to buy school books for year one at school.

We were also treated to a wonderful end-of-term concert at the Government school we support. We put money put in 65 kids' savings accounts and also ordered the food for next term.
