Happy New Year! It was an exciting end to 2024 in Sierra Leone. The days leading up to Christmas at The Raining Season brought several special activities, including a Christmas carol service and party at The Raining Season Primary School, our annual Christmas celebration, a party for our staff, and a second party thrown by a special guest at The Covering.
Our annual Christmas celebration has become one of the most anticipated events of the year for our staff and children. Each year, we are able to make this an incredibly memorable tradition, thanks to the generous support of our sponsors.
This year, the Christmas party was celebrated just before Christmas on December 20th. The party included Christmas decorations, a delicious meal, and dancing! All of the children received new African dress clothes and shoes. For the first time, our children who attend school outside the center were each able to invite a friend from school to join in the fun. The young adults who have been reunified were also invited to join the celebration.
Once again, thank you to everyone who donated to our Christmas festivities! The Christmas celebration is only one of many ways your support goes above and beyond providing for our children's basic needs and so much more. We continue to see our kids not only surviving but thriving. Thank you for your prayers and support that help make it all possible. We look forward to continuing our mission alongside you in 2025.
Many blessings,
The Raining Season
