Dear Chris and the UK partners,

Merry Christmas and warmest greetings from all of us at Edgel Mission!

We are writing to express our heartfelt gratitude for your generous Christmas gift. Your kindness and compassion brought immense joy and hope to the children and families we serve during this special season.

Thanks to your generosity, we were able to prepare a delightful Christmas meal for over 250 children. The festive menu included lamb stew, rice, chapatti, and fresh fruits. It was a heartwarming celebration, and the children were overjoyed to share this meal together. In addition to the meal, each child received a small Christmas gift, which made the day even more memorable.

Your gift extended beyond the celebration itself. We distributed food packs to 96 single mothers and widows in the community, ensuring they and their children have meals for the rest of the week. These packs, filled with essentials like wheat flour, cooking oil, green beans, and porridge flour, provide much-needed relief and nourishment. The gratitude expressed through their smiles and tears is a powerful testament of the difference your kindness has made.

Christmas is truly a time of giving, and through your support, you have put smiles on so many faces. Your selflessness ensured that children and their families could experience the joy and spirit of the season, something that may not have been possible without your help.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being part of this beautiful journey of love and generosity. May your holiday season be filled with peace, joy, and the warmth of knowing that you have made a lasting impact.

"May this verse inspire and uplift you today:

'Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and He will repay him for his deed.' – Proverbs 19:17
