St Francis of Assisi parish in Vanderbijlpark (SFoA) Christmas Star Project was a huge success. It entailed each tree having 18 numbers, linked to gender and age of needy kids within the community. The value of the gift was capped at R150, with a target of three Christmas trees amounting to 54 gifts which was however surpassed, as 71 gifts were allocated to the kids!
The generosity of the sponsors made this project possible – a big shout out to all who supported – thank you so much for being a blessing to others! Submission and photos: Elaine Prosper
