Urasoe City Handicapped Children's Christmas Party

I know what your thinking.........No your not seeing double............there are two Santa's. Thanks Danny and Michael for going way out of your comfort zone on a moments notice and bringing great joy to these special children.
We needed all the help we could get to unload 283 gifts for these very special children in Urasoe City.
We saw one of Tomo's girlfriends he met at "Smile Up" Down Syndrome Support Group. What a special little girl. She was so happy with her Princess Legos.
This little guy was ready to get home and play with his truck.

This two are buddies and wanted to have the same gifts. So "Light Bright" it is.
We had so many toys we were loading them on stretchers to get them inside.
Meet Kento and his mom. They remembered us from last year as we gave him a gift with a watch, cologne and new socks. He was so proud to wear his cologne to school the next day and have everyone enjoy how good he smelt. This year he chose a robot. He's so smart he even speaks a little english.
There were so many children and they were so excited to receive the gifts.
Amanda, Meghan and Kenny were just a few that joined us in distributing. Thanks to everyone for such wonderful singing of "Silent Night" that proclaimed the gospel of Jesus Christ to these special people.
While we were distributing at Urasoe City, Rika was at a "Foster Children" support group Christmas Party passing out about 50 gifts. Thanks everyone for making Christmas a special time and a more meaningful time for many on Saturday. Thanks to the Toys for Tots organization for their generous donation of toys and to OCHEA Okinawa Christian Home Educators Association, EDIS Educational Developmental Intervention Services, Central Baptist Church and the Harbor Ministry for their many "Boxes of Love" they prepared for these very special children.
