On the 3rd of December, a group of us went to the Lifeline Clinic for the weekend to help our Dr Sarah to organise a Christmas party for all the children in Epukiro. This was not as hard as we thought actually, due to the beautiful preparation Dr Sarah and Nurse Anna had already made over the past weeks.
The group of us, including four very helpful volunteers, arrived to decorate the clinic and dress up the children in little angel outfits which made them look adorable!
Just as all the town inhabitants had arrived and taken a seat in the clinic, the children arrived, dressed up and singing the most beautiful Christmas carols in English, Afrikaans, San and Herero, making more than one of us shed a tear or two.
After the beautiful ceremony, Rudie, who dressed up as Santa for the occasion, gave out presents to each and every one of the children, while our volunteers were busy giving out cake and drinks outside.
The big surprise of the day was the water slide that Rudie and Marlice brought down for the day and which was very much enjoyed by all the kids!
Thank you to everybody who participated and a special thank you to Dr Sarah and Nurse Anna for organising such a special day for the children!
