“They also received other gifts.
“There are children who have never received gifts in their life,” she says.
Sarah says the initiative is also aimed at motivating the children, and others, to stay in or join the Sunday school so that they can be taught good morals.
“Their teachers also undergo regular training to be able to work with the children because they are all from different backgrounds,” she says.
