Christmas is a wonderful time of the year, full of joy and smiles. This week at VOH Luongo, we had our Christmas celebration at our Centre! The teachers gave the children time away from learning to decorate the tree, and they were super excited about how good it turned out! Then it was time to take everyone’s photos! Most of the children wanted to hold a Father Christmas doll in the picture, and others wanted to hold the cards they had made. It was so good for the kids to have this opportunity to share the joy of the season with their friends. For some of our new, younger children, this was a dream come true, and the first time they had been able to celebrate Christmas in this way! From VOH Luongo children and staff, we wish you all a Merry Christmas!
