The most requested item the children in the Philippines wanted for Christmas was food. This is from children who have known real hunger. Because you gave so generously, we made sure food was a part of what they received. Meals were prepared and food packages were given to the families. A popular custom in the Philippines is "noche buena." It is a special Christmas meal eaten at midnight on Christmas Eve to celebrate the birth of Christ. Some of the families who received a box of food said it was the first time they ever had any special food for "noche buena" and they were very happy. Thank you for your generous gifts to provide Christmas for the sponsored children and their families. In addition to food, they received toys, clothing and school supplies because of your generous giving. Thank you for making lots of smiles possible.
