Christmas parties!











Every year Children’s Cup hosts the country’s largest Christmas Party. This year we had 4000 at our Manzini party alone.
The kids came from 10 carepoints to celebrate “siyajabula kutsi inkhosi Jesu inatsi” (We are happy that Jesus is with us.)
These kids who have so little came to a mass controlled-chaos of hotdogs, ice cream, juice, jumping castles, water slides, cricket, soccer, net ball, face painting, volley ball, dancing, and singing.
At the end of the day the kids each saw a performance by the Dynamics kids and received a Christmas gift.
It was so awesome to be a part of this in Swaziland, but even more awesome was the response that we got from the US. Children’s cup needed to raise approx $1250 per carepoint to hose such a party. Your US support was unbelievable. We raised every penny and still had churches wanting to donate! Children’s Cup actually was able to say, “We have enough for this project (but you can support another one if you choose)”
Thanks to everyone who made this possible!
