Thousands of gifts, hundreds of yards of colorful wrapping, scores
of volunteers and a handful of vehicles come together to give love,
joy and happiness to the Bayash villages of Croatia.
The joy of Christmas into every home!
Lists are created to database every child and family
in the dozens of Bayash villages to be visited.
Many of the young families have four or more children living
in one room houses.
Teams visited homes on foot bringing gifts and
Children's Bibles.
Each gift was personalized with a nametag.
No family was missed or
forgotten.
Hours of label making assured
each child would receive the
gift just for them.
Young Bayash children assist in the reading of the
Christmas Story in the Baysh language
Teens from local Croatian
youth groups assisted in
the packing and distribution.
Volunteers teach families
'Silent Night' in their Bayash
language.
For some of the children this beautiful gift
would be the only they would ever receive.
