It is Saturday, December 15, 2018, our SCEF team with its partners are happy to learn and share in the joy of Christmas with street connected children. This year we have invited over one hundred street children and their families to come and share the joy of the season with us. Christmas is a time of giving and sharing with everybody.
Children get very excited anytime Christmas is mentioned. In Ghana, children are over excited anytime they are told about Christmas. Most Ghanaian children receive items from their parents and guardians during Christmas. Children are always happy to hear their parents say Barbara come for your Christmas dress. Kojo hear is your Christmas shoes. They are always expecting brand new items on Christmas.
The child on the street also deserves to be happy just like any other child on Christmas day. Here at SCEF we are putting smiles on their faces. With exciting performances, the children spice up our pre-Christmas event,"Sharing the Joy of Christmas". They make our partners and all present super happy.
The drama could really turn worst of times round. The children are performing a drama on sanitation, clean environment and education.
Our dancers also heat up the stage with some dancing moves.
The choir with their angelic voices sooth the hearts of all present.
Elder and Sister Yeates, and Elder and Sister James from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints are all excited about these performances. They say; seeing the children perform is the best thing that could ever happen to them.
President of the Rotary Club of Accra Airport Afua Ababio spends time the children. ''Merry Christmas to you and we are very happy to be here with you today'' Afua says. The club supports the children with some cupcakes, toys, and clothes.
Our Executive Director Mr. Paul Semeh encourages the children to learn the act of sharing. "Together with our partners we have put together some hampers for you. We expect that you share with others"
The Children are happy to have some cheese sandwiches and drinks. Every child present receives a hamper full candies, drinks, toys, and many other items. They will share these items with their friends and family during Christmas.
