As mentioned, the purpose of this trip was to bring some Christmas cheer & warmth to those less fortunate, which the IHBC having been doing so at this particular orphanage for some time now.

To start the day, the orphanage residents put on some live performances, then Santa, assisted by his 'little devil' as well as a gang of helpers, distributed small gifts and fruit around the orphanage, much to the pleasure of everyone. His Excellency Kevin Dowling and his Spouse were also present to enjoy this Christmas spirit.

After the program, visitors were shown around to see the work that the IHBC has done on the building and especially the new reinforced doors. The doors were manufactured and in-built with the funds generated by Mary Murphy at the Gift-of-the-Gab events.

These events are always amazing and heart-felt experiences for everyone, every time…come rain or shine.
