On 25th<\/sup> December, 2017, Lusubilo Orphan Care Centre organized a Christmas Party for children under its care. This followed a joint get together of staff members from Diocesan Curia and Lusubilo.<\/p>\n

The main aim of the Children\u2019s Party was to celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. Fr. Mathews Simwela, Professor Kim and some Lusubilo staff members accompanied the children during the celebration. Lusubilo values with great reverence all church activities.<\/p>\n

The children began their celebrations with Christmas Mass at St Mary\u2019s Parish. After that they gathered for a common lunch at the Children\u2019s village. The meal was specially prepared for the occasion. One could only notice the beauty of the celebration on the faces of the children. Children shared experiences. Lunch was followed with music and dance. Children displayed their dancing and singing talents.<\/p>\n
