    Yesterday, Sunday 21st was the Day Mike from the Dive-shop had his "private" Christmas party on his property in Dauin. It is held for his staff and some Kids from town and Dauin.... at least that was the plan...:D

    As we have the donations from the Oktoberfest I jumped on the boat as that is a perfect opportunity for a medical check-up. Some friends of Mike from the peace - corps also came and were supporting the x-mas party.

    so at 10 am in the morning some easy-rides were filled with about 50 Kids, food, drinks, presents and, and, and, heading out to his property in Dauin where 25 Kids from Dauin were already waiting.

    The next few hours were filled with countless games and the guys and girls from the peace-corps did an awesome job with the Kids, while Mikes staff prepared the lunch.

    After feeding the crowd, a Doc came and checked the Kids. Many of them never seen a doctor before in their entire life. Some of them will have some follow-up's and the Oktoberfest-fund will take care of that.

    Finally around Sunset Santa made his way through the really small, tiny chimney and each of the Kids got a gift-bag. One of Mikes Divers donated additional 75 pairs of Flip-Flop's.

    It was a great day and much bigger than Mike had planned (sorry, also my fault) that's what x-mas is about, giving some time,love and care ....

    A big thank you to all who made that possible:

    • Marga, Philipp, Dan and all other guys/girls from the Peace-corps who never got tired to entertain the Kids..
    • Mark, who donated the Flip-Flops...
    • Doc Viviena G. Nervez of Mom's Family Clinic and her assistant to check all the kids...
    • All the Donors of the Oktoberfest at the pressclub...
    • The great Staff of the Adventure Diveshop/Waterfront-Cafe...
    • and that little, old Man from California with the big heart... for making all of that possible and let us a kind of hitch-hike his private party...

    Merry Christmas to all of you...

    It is a true spirit of christmas.....a gift of love.
    To all the volunteers and organizers, we commend you for your generosity. Your efforts have made it possible for our community's children to experience a joyous time while demonstrating that adult volunteer participation is equally enjoyed by those making the occasion possible. Being a role model for the youngster's benefit enable the kids to see the joy of extending one's self - unselfishly.
    THANK YOU AND MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND HAPPY NEW YEAR.
