Christmas in Makuluni

This is an excerpt from an email from Virginia regarding her Christmas at Makuluni village.

"...We set off on the 24th December for the village...I bought a goat and it was slaughtered. We invited neighbours who could not afford such a nice meal and we cooked together,ate and laughed together. I was particularly touched by a six year old little fella who after i shared with them about the reason for the gathering he said, ' Oh I wish Jesus was being born every day so that you could be celebrating His birth with us and enjoying good food like this, by the way, when is He getting born again?'. The village is full of humanity calls, the people are just innocent and it is amazing the way they just 'hang in there'. i love those poor souls..."

Please remember these people throughout your day today.
