The most wonderful gift! – 2023 (2)

Another location. Another kindergarten. Other children. Their joy was similar to that of all the other children we visited: sincere and catching.

They were excited to present a small program prepared for us and the few parents who were in the room. They twirled, danced and sang carols, moving continuously and uncontrollably, each in a different way, all to the amusement of the audience. Their emotions were clearly visible.

Shhhh… The storyteller has entered the scene. Who is this “Wonderful gift given to all of us?”

The answer also came from the children: “It’s the baby Jesus!”, they answered in one voice.

How the storyteller managed to distract the children from the presents in front of them, we don’t know. We can only assume that it holds a secret that we do not know. However, the story lasted a good few minutes and the children kept their eyes fixed on the storyteller and the illustrations presented. After the story, it was time for those presents, which seemed to be lonely on the table in front of the classroom, to be lovingly embraced by each child.

Thanks to Operation Christmas Child who each Christmas make an endless effort to bring joy to as many children as possible by proclaiming the ‘Most Wonderful Gift’ and giving them a present. This year, we had the joy to collaborate with them and, having the same desire, we managed to touch the hearts of some children from Vaslui county, who are not the only ones in our care.

We keep doing it. We continue with the help of God!
