Celebrating
Christmas with |
Fellow practitioners
from the Costa Rica Center, the Administrative Staff of the Heredia Prison,
and Heredia's Rotary Club joined to celebrate a Christmas festival for 300 local
children and their parents. Some fellow practitioners dressed as Father Christmas
and others as four happy clowns. Four large pinatas shaped as pots were filled
with sweets for the children to break open.
Bags of sweets,
cookies, drinks and gifts were prepared for all the children. Singing with a
live band brightened the atmosphere and the prison's main square looked like
a fairground, filled with harmony and the overflowing happiness on the children's
faces. It was a wonderful day of plenty, the resources coming from contributions
and the unselfish service of all those participating.
