For the last 14 years Damascus has made it our tradition to host an Easter celebration for the children in the neighborhood.
We had several parlor games for the children and their families. This year we had a relay race of shooting bean bags in to a goal and then to the ladder ball. It gave the kids a chance to work in teams. From fun games , dance numbers, and a delicious lunch made the Easter celebration a fun filled event. The final activity was the much awaited easter egg hunt, we hid over a hundred eggs for the children to search and collect. Of course everyone got a prize!
But of course it was not all games, we explained to them the reason why we celebrate Easter and how we should be thankful for all the blessing God has been giving us.
Thanks to our friends from (WOS) Wings of Support who donated toys we gave as prizes!
Hope we can continue this tradition and give the kids the opportunity experience the true meaning of Easter!
