Gifts from families of I.S.R. to a local orphan.
One of the orphanages performs "Joy to the World." Very Cute!On Tuesday here we had an orphanage Christmas party for two local orphanages. The Boy and Girl Scouts here at ISR along with the Student Council hosted. There were about 50 orphans who came to the party. As you may know orphans have a special place in our hearts so this was such a great experience for us.
First we set out a bunch of sports equipment in the gym and on the soccer field and let the kids play for about an hour. Then we went into our performing arts room and our students performed the opening number of our Christmas Play. Then each of the orphanages performed a few Christmas songs of their own. They were so cute and very talented. For each group some of the older students played guitar for the accompaniment.
Next we had lunch from KFC delivered. The kids eyes were so big! They love KFC here and the kids never get to have it so it was a real treat. After copious amounts of desserts we started handing out the gifts. Each child and staff member in the orphanage put together a need and a wish for Christmas. Families in camp took those and shopped for the things that they asked for. Each child got everything on their list. It was so great to see the thankfulness in their smiles when they received their gifts. What a great experience!
