Christmas in AV


The fact that it's nearly Valentine's Day shouldn't stop me from posting a few Christmas party photos, should it? I apologize, I had video clips from the Christmas celebration as well, but in a later mad rush to take photos elsewhere these got deleted to make more room in the camera. So at the bottom there are a few clips of some of our Child Development Program kids introducing themselves. Kids like these can be sponsored on a monthly basis, providing funds for the salary of staff members who work with the kid's families, facilitate financial saving groups that increase the well-being and resources of the whole community, lead Bible clubs, and provide supplemental education classes.

Recap on the Christmas party: this was not an FH sponsored event, but was a joint project put on by three local churches for the community as a whole. Many FH staff were involved in the preparations and goings on, and all staff attended the event as a staff Christmas celebration. About 500-600 people total were in attendance for the performances, a Cambodian speaker, sack lunch, and baptism. Included are several pictures of traditional Cambodian dancing performances, a Cambodian-style Christmas pageant, and guests at the party.
