Everyone at Bethany wishes you all a very Happy Christmas. The children will celebrate on Christmas day with a Church Service in the morning followed by a Christmas meal which will include a small bottle of soda (fizzy drink).  Bethany will pay for a cow to be killed which will not only provide food for the children but also the staff and also some of the poorest villagers.  After the meal the children will play lots of team games including football. It will be  a great time of celebration remembering the birth of Jesus.  Thank you all for making this possible.
