Day 4 - Oh What Fun .......

Christmas Carols Day!

As we enter the school, we can hear Christmas carols in the background and the chatter of little voices that are excited for the day.

This is always fun for the team as we celebrate the birth of Jesus. We are guided into the hall which is decorated beautifully in red and green with a Christmas tree and lights. The students are crammed into the “hall”, two classrooms that open up to make the hall. The team sits at the front behind tables with green and red checkered cloths.

This young man opened the presentation by reading from God's word, Luke 1:26,  "In the sixth month of Elizabeth's pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin's name was Mary. The angel went to her and said, 'Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.' 

Just a glimpse of a portion of what each class presented to us. We were smiling from ear to ear as we watched and listened to them. Don't you wish you were here with us.

Always trying to ham it up for the camera. We love these children with every fiber of our being.

These precious students are patiently waiting until the program starts so they can share with everyone what they have learned.

Nick decided the kids needed ice cream so he surprised them all and they were ecstatic!

Each of the students in all the classes made Christmas cards for their families. They worked on them and were quite proud to display them. 

We have been fed too well while we have been here. For most of us, the food at the school is humbling but oh so delicious. From the top is chapati, yellow beans (pinto's), and cabbage.

Here's the group of students who participated in the Christmas play. The wisemen on the left, the sheep in front in sacks (the sounds coming from these sheep was right on the mark, and the shepherds in the back.
