It was a big project for Léa to started in December in YPGD. Volunteers organised Christmas workshops in Borovo.
The goal was to make a beautiful Christmas for everyone; decorations, christmas gifts and christmas cookies
made by little ones for elderly people.
The first step, was making Christmas tree decorations. That’s why, volunteers painted little reindeers,
Santa Claus, Christmas trees,...
Then elderly people sold those decorations to raise found for the active retirement association !!
Volunteers enjoyed so much this activity.
The spirit of Christmas is already in YPGD, because these gifts are for eldery people. Volunteers hope
that eldery people will be happy with these gifts and they will have a very merry Christmas.
But what is Christmas without Christmas cookies! Tuesday 14th of December was cookies decorations day for children. Volunteers
had backed a lot of little gingerbread man, christmas trees, angels and others for the event.
We had sugar glaze in every colors and also chocolate dip and eatable sprikle for decoration. On the other
hand we were also doing some christmas cards.
Children loved to eat the little cookies more than todecarate them, and the sugar glaze became a sugar dip bowl! We had a lot of fun celebrating the arrival of
Christmas festivities.
