Spreading Christmas Joy Across The Globe This lovely photo from our 2019 Nativity was selected to be used as part of a virtual Christmas Card, by Sister Anne Griffin to their congregation of sisters. We are extremely proud of our children and thought it would be lovely to share with you all how our children have helped to spread the Christmas message around the world. Sister Griffin sent us the following note detailing how it has helped their cause: “Thank you so much for allowing us to share your beautiful photo in our Christmas card. I was looking for something special and your very children are just lovely. Our congregation of sisters is small - only 125 in nine countries. We work mostly with very poor people in health, special needs education, income generation and human rights. This year has been difficult for us all so I felt, as communications officer, that I should look for something to cheer us all up. That is where your little ones come in, especially as many of our schools and centres remain closed and those that are open are not allowed to celebrate the Nativity story. Our card will go out in two formats; for those in UK and Ireland who are mostly elderly retired sisters, they will receive a traditional card (we’ll send one to the Nursery) and for those in Asia, Africa and the Americas they will receive it as a video. We also send the video to our legal, professional and project funders. I have tried to show that in spite of the COVID-19 virus, we (like you) carry on. Congratulations on having such a lovely Nursery, I enjoyed looking through your website and photos when you celebrate new events and holidays. We’d also like to congratulate you on being a centre of excellence after being open only a few years.” Video Link - https://vimeo.com/489047317/e048b4721e
