On 21st December at 11am Asha slums were filled with cheer as eager slum children rushed to attended their Christmas parties. All Asha resource centres were decorated and had Christmas trees with presents beneath them.
Though each slum celebrated in different ways all attending had a lovely time.
In most slums excited children performed a nativity play about the birth of Jesus, followed by songs and dances. Father Christmas then presented the children with gifts.

Seeing the children enjoy themselves so much was very rewarding – this Christmas really was special for them. We at Asha and all of the slum children are very thankful to those who contributed and made the parties possible.
