After staff members had delivered the emergency supplies, a community leader extended an invitation to the ministry center staff to return in January on Children’s Day to lead special activities for the village’s children.

When the LHMT staff arrived on Children’s Day, many of the village residents greeted them with warm smiles and friendly handshakes. Several of them mentioned how much they appreciated the help that LHMT gave them.

Nearly 100 children and more than 100 adults attended the village celebration….
