During the month of November, 4 high school students met with one of our teachers and began planning how to make Christmas special for one of our not-so-fortunate families. They discussed gift buying and providing a Christmas dinner. These students had great discussions about their feelings, knowing that there are families who cannot provide a nice Christmas for their children. They decided on a shopping date in December. They also asked the staff is they would be willing to provide the food for a Christmas dinner and the staff was more than willing to help out.

Our students traveled to the nearest shopping mall and had a great day purchasing gifts for their sponsored family. When they returned to the school, the students wrapped all the gifts, gathered food from the staff and delivered everything to the needy family.
