Christmas Surprise at the Concá Shelter/Sorpresa Navideña en el Albergue de Concá

Our 9th grade students organized a visit to the Concá Shelter, to carry out a Christmas party and bring moments of joy and surprises to the 23 children who live there.

There were games, piñatas, gifts and a visit from the Grinch, who filled them with excitement when he arrived.

We want to thank the 10 students who led the project, the entire 9th grade generation and their families, for making this possible thanks to their donations, we took a gift box for each child with: school notebooks, pens, Christmas boot with candy, teddy bear, stamps, legos, block game, play doh, barbies, magic sand and Christmas stockings.

As a school, we also donated sports balls, puzzles, stories, jump ropes, pencils, erasers and general purpose pens.

It was an emotional experience, which filled us with joy, empathy and reflection on the feeling of gratitude for the opportunity to share our time with warmth and affection in this Christmas season.
