BOSCO KIDS Celebrate Christmas with the Poor

“Christmas has meaning only when we share all that we have with those who have nothing at all. For this is what God the Father did on that first Christmas day, gave His only son to the humanity bereft of genuine love and concern”, said Fr. Paul Fernandez, the chief guest for the Christmas celebration organized by the BOSCO KIDS of Don Bosco School, Chitradurga. And he applauded BOSCO KIDS adding, “You little BOSCO KIDS made this day very significant both for yourself and for the poor children of your locality. This world is still a beautiful place because there are people like you all over”.

BOSCO KIDS of the school made their own little contribution with which they bought sarees for ladies, shawls for men and readymade dresses for the children of construction workers and invited Fr. Paul Fernandez to distributed them. 

Fr. Anand, the principal, praised BOSCO KIDS for their generous contribution to help out the poor and he said, “God will bless you abundantly for this good gesture of yours. Be good and do good always and bring laurels to BOSCO KIDS”. All the teachers and the students of the school were present for the programme. Later BOSCO KIDS entertained all with cultural extravaganza.
