Christmas Decorations |
The past two weeks have been a busy time here at Damien House as we enter Advent and prepare for the Christmas season. The last two weeks were spent decorating our hospital home for Christmas. Patients, staff, and volunteers all worked together to transform Damien into a winter wonderland! Almost every door has some sort of wreath, stocking, or other decoration on it. Both the men and women´s section also have a Christmas tree, complete with lights, ornaments, and of course a star on top! Of course we have also decorated the office with our own Small tree and Santa Claus figurine!

Many of the women have also been working for months on various Christmas crafts and cards to give to our visitors and benefactors during this holiday season. The first of the cards and gifts were delivered to our printer here in Guayaquil yesterday and the patients will continue to hand them out to the visitors that come to the foundation this month. Sonia, one of the patients, has also been working hard to sew Christmas pillows for the staff here at Damien House while The Rostro and UEES volunteers have been busy helping stuff the pillows. Decemeber will be a busy month but a very enjoyable one as we welcome many various groups into our hospital home!
