Christmas Party

Yesterday was Dove Mission's Christmas party, and it could not possibly have gone better! We had a live DJ come to the party and all the kids had fun dancing and taking part in the contests to win prizes (merengue contest, hoola hoop, etc.) There was a delicious dinner of chicken, rice, potato salad, cole slaw, and cupcakes; everyone had a blast. We then took the kids back to the Club where we met the Moms and shared cake and spent some time together. When it was time to leave, we handed out a huge gift bag to each child, which they (and the Moms) were so excited about and gracious for. This will most definitely be a Christmas that they will never forget. Sonia, one of the Moms, told us that her son Yoandi didn't sleep the following night because he was too excited looking through his Christmas bag. Thank you to everyone who made this possible; we couldn't have done it without you!
