Let’s live the gift of Christmas: Let’s celebrate a Christmas with a cause, this is the new campaign of World Vision Nicaragua

• In this Christmas, World Vision Nicaragua asked to be joined in prayer so that every girl and boy may have life in all its fullness.

• With the support of Grupo Roble, this campaign received messages and prayers for children at the Reading Clubs supported by the organization in the different departments.

On Christmas Eve, World Vision Nicaragua launched the campaign: Let’s Live the Gift of Christmas: Let’s Celebrate a Christmas with a Cause, lwhich urged Nicaraguan families to take ownership of the cause of children and reflect on the importance of protecting children and adolescents across the country and join in prayer the most vulnerable households.

In turn, the campaign enabled these families to have the experience of exchanging a symbolic gift and messages of hope with children and adolescents at the reading clubs supported by the organization.

In order to prepare this symbolic gift, participating families took an adornment and a Christmas card to decorate them and wrote some Advent messages. Then, these these adornments and messages will be sent to different reading clubs that are part of World Vision’s Technical Program of Spirituality, Protection and Education. This activity was carried out in December in a location provided by Metrocentro Shopping Mall.

“As a Christian organization of humanitarian aid, this campaign is aimed at reminding Nicaraguan families that the meaning of Christmas is the birth of Jesus as God’s priceless gift to mankind, and with a grateful heart let’s share messages of hope with children from the vulnerable communities we serve.”

We feel very excited that children at our reading clubs receive an unexpected message of faith and enthusiasm in this Christmas season, because many children are going through hardship,” expressed Estela Medina, Specialist in Corporate Fund Management.
