Santa comes early to the students

We are so lucky to be able to go home and be with family for Christmas. Most of our students don’t have that opportunity. They are spending Christmas away from family and in a new country. To help ease the discomfort of this, the Vasquez family (other professors here) began a tradition several years ago to help the students bind together as a family.

We celebrated with the married students and their children. A sweet couple from the church opened up their home and cooked a delicious meal for us all. The children all had so much fun running and giggling while the adults played lots of silly games. At the end all the children received Christmas presents that were sponsored by a staff or church member. Most of these kids will get very little for Christmas as their parents are sacrificing financially to be able to study. They all seemed to love their gifts.
