Christmas at Esther Home
Inner Wheel Club of Johor Bahru
19 December 2021
On December 19, 2021 the members of the Inner Wheel Club of Johor Bahru visited the children who live at Esther home in JB to spread some Christmas cheer. The Home houses about 30 boys and girls. IWCJB has been supporting the Home since January 2021.
This month, Vice President Natassha with the help of Shamala bought gifts for all the children. They put in a lot of time and effort to source the gifts and pack them in beautiful Christmas bags. The gifts were kindly sponsored by one of the new members Jennifer. Ms Grace who manages the Home requested the club to buy school bags, clothes and shoes. The children were eagerly waiting and welcomed the ladies very enthusiastically.
The visit began with singing of some Christmas songs put together by Marlene, who also played the piano. The children joined in the singing making the whole atmosphere fun filled and joyous. After the singing the girls presented a dance that was choreographed just for the ladies. Much to the delight of the children, Treasurer Amy brought some cookies and Jennifer bought some candies too.
After the singing and dancing the presents were given to every child and all the care-givers. The visit culminated with lots of “Thank you!” and a resounding “Merry Christmas!”. Every moment spent at the Home confirmed that the spirit of Christmas is all about sharing and giving.
After spending a wonderful time at the Home, the ladies continued with the Christmas themed fellowship at VP Natassha’s lovely home. It was indeed a wonderful gathering of ladies dressed in red and green keeping in line with the Christmas theme. Every moment of this day will be treasured because some of the ladies were attending a physical meeting after a long time.
