Thanks to countless donors, past volunteers, friends, family, and the local community, Faraja was able to celebrate Christmas in a way they only once could have dreamed of. In addition to a huge feast, each child received a new pair of shoes, new clothes, a school backpack, and school supplies. The "big gift" was an industrial sized washing machine, meaning the children and staff will never again have to wash clothes by hand!

Dozens of guests attended the event, offering food, gifts, and donations. Everyone had a great time and left with very full stomachs (two goats, nine chickens, and a LOT of fruits, cake, and candy will do that to a person).

Thank you to everyone who donated this past year, and to everyone who donated to make Faraja's Christmas so special! For more pictures of the event, check out the photo album here.
