Over a three-day weekend between Christmas and New Years, over 100 children from displaced families participated in a series of fun and insightful activities in Gros Morne, Haiti. With Quixote Center's support, the Lachandlé parish organized the children to celebrate Christmas by playing games, learning new skills and discussing how to stay safe.
Between delicious and healthy meals, four animators from the parish took turns working in smaller groups with the children. A seminarian led a discussion on how to behave in society and how to deal with gang members to avoid falling prey to their recruitment tactics. The boys and girls also learned arts and crafts, and played games and sports in the John XXIII school yard where the event took place.
Our partners report that all the children learned a lot and had fun, and they wished this Christmas program could last longer. Quixote Center extends this gratitude to all the donors who made this event possible. Thank you!

God bless all the beautiful children of Haiti and the adults who are providing services to them. May you all be held in the palm of God's hand and wrapped in the love of the Holy Family.
