December 2014
The DWBI annual Christmas party was extra exciting and special this year because it was held at Baan Gerda for the first time ever. The kids had never done anything like this before and they were all thrilled. It all started during the Mercy Fun day event at NIST where every kid wrote down what they wished for for Christmas and with the help of the NIST community, all presents were purchased and wrapped with a card by December 7th. |

After the 3-hour drive, we arrived at the Baan Gerda with all the kids waiting enthusiastically to see us. Boxes and boxes filled with presents were loaded off the bus and we all gathered in the center room where we ate, sang songs, played games and opened presents. The atmosphere throughout the day was filled with enthusiasm, love and gratitude. It was a great and successful day overall with many memories created.
