Children living in extreme poverty are typically excluded from the joy of things we often take for granted. We might expect to receive a present at Christmastime, but children in poverty are lucky to eat that day. The joy of Christmas shouldn't be just for us. Let's make it a Merry Christmas for everyONE! Please donate today to ensure every Cico Uganda assisted child receives his or her very own gift.
Christmas and the holidays can be a massively busy time. Some of the reasons people get super-stressed, tired or argumentative with family at this time include: working long hours to get things finished before the holidays worrying about the financial cost of buying Christmas presents, getting all the Christmas shopping done in time, overdoing it with too many family, work or social events, feeling isolated when everyone else around them seems to be having great time with their families feeling
The church and the local partner staff members' focus during this season is to celebrate Jesus' birthday and to make children feel loved through the activities and presents. Every Christmas, children light up with smiles when they receive Christmas gifts thanks to their sponsors' support.
During the year, the center staff members regularly visit the children's homes to understand their needs. One year, having noticed that many families had only thin, worn blankets - and knowing winter was fast approaching - staff members decided to gift children with thick, cozy blankets.
