Christmas Baskets For Xejuyu I

Now in their 7th year, Mission Guatemala's community Christmas parties are always a highlight! This year, we had the chance to celebrate with not just one, but TWO amazing communities in the San Andrés area! 

First, Mission Guatemala celebrated "la Navidad" with children from the community of Godinez. The following day, we celebrated with children from the community of Caliaj San Andrés! Every one of both the community's younger children received a hand-wrapped Christmas present filled with items donated throughout the year by our amazing supporters!

In addition to receiving their gifts, the niños and their families enjoyed a performance from "Los Alegrines," a local clown troupe, and to finish out the morning, everyone shared a traditional meal of tamales with bread and fruit "ponche!"

It's always exciting to share a day full of joy and laughter like this with our friends here in Guatemala. We're grateful to all the families that participated, and to all of the those who donated these gifts throughout the year!
