Helping make a "Merry Little Christmas"

"Through the years we all will be together, if the Fates allow. Hang a shining star upon the highest bough. And have yourself a merry little Christmas now" - Hugh Martin, Ralph Blane

Every year we take some of the pressure off Carryou Ministry and give the orphans a day filled with snacks, food, toys and most off all, all the love we have to give! Relying heavily on the giving and supportive spirits of the community and our client to help make this possible, we set out to make this the best Christmas yet!

Having catered for the 250 orphans, we never anticipated the 30 extra children we had there for the day, called "our STAFF". The atmosphere was one filled with the innocence and pure excitement that only Christmas brings. From the start, when the buses arrived at the Methodist Church in Randfontein to the dance competition at the end-it was truly a fun filled experience.

The best part, as we should have guessed, was the arrival of Santa Clause and a couple of helper elves! Each child was given a toy and a hug from the Big Man, making it a truly special moment as their smiles proved. Appreciation for the little things in life was a lesson that all of us here at Primedia Face 2 Face learned.

With the help of our sponsors we were able to create not only a remarkable day for the Children, but an Unforgettable experience for the staff and helpers at Carryou Ministry. Primedia Face 2 Face had the great pleasure of giving them a shopping spree for food and much needed electrical appliances to make the New Year start with a worriless Bang!

Special thanks to the generous sponsors that helped make this day as astonishing and memorable as it was:
