Hannah”s Hope held Christmas party
BEZ VALLEY – My family was poor and could not afford to give us anything for Christmas.
Hannah’s Hope foundation held a Christmas party for children and youth at Caravan Park in Bez Valley recently.
This year the NGO fed over five adults and 40 children.
Founder of the home Lorraine Benjamen said it was the second time that the home held the event.
Benjamen said the idea of hosting a Christmas party was to give children an early Christmas gift.

“Every child looks forward to Christmas and we as Hannah’s Hope Foundation decided to have a Christmas party every year. I wanted to make the kids feel special and loved,” she said.
Benjamen said she did not receive any Christmas gifts when she was still young.
“My family was poor and could not afford to give us anything for Christmas. My Christmas was always a sad one because I saw other children celebrating it. I never experienced a Christmas party as a child and wanted the children in Bez Valley and surrounds not to go through what I went through,” she said.

Children were treated with lunch and party packs.
“Hannah’s Hope will continue to host a Christmas party every year. I would like to thank the sponsors for making the day a success,” said Benjamen.
