Mentor & Graduates' Christmas...

It was a wonderful time once again this year, when staff, mentor teenagers and also graduates came together as a family to celebrate Christmas. It was a busy time getting ready for the holidays that culminated with the Christmas Eve party and cooking contest.



Both boys and girls did a great job, giving the jury a hard time deciding who was the winner. It was a special time together having lunch, playing different games, sharing stories, opening gifts and having fun.



Our annual “money tree” gift came with a contest, so the kids had to figure out how much money we put on the “special tree”. This year Maria was the lucky winner, taking home not only the money but the tree also.


Most of the graduate teenagers missed our wonderful Christmas party this year because they had to work on Christmas Eve, but thanks to our wonderful sponsors we shared a special dinner together as an extended family.


We want to thank all our sponsors that made this blessed time possible. Please continue to pray for all of the young adults in the Mentor Program and also for those who have graduated and are now living and working independently.
