A Christmas Project

My daughter Erin works in the Young Women
in her ward in Bountiful. They decided that for
Christmas they would do a service project for
the Hilton House here in Suva. Children with
special needs live at the Hilton House so they
can attend school at the School for the Handi-
capped. These children are from villages and
without this "home away from home", they
would never have the opportunity to go to
school. It was started by a Mr. Hilton who came
to Fiji 35 years ago from Australia to teach
special education to teachers here....he never
went home . He is in his 90's now and is still involved
in fund raising for the Home and School.
The youth in Bountiful made folder learning
games for the children, sent soap and tooth
paste and tooth brushes, socks, blankets, treats
and love to the children here. The children and
staff were so very appreciative! Thank you
to these wonderful young men and young
women. Here are some pictures of the kids
using these fun games.


Josuah is 6 years old. He is can't walk, or talk
and is blind. He loves this soft beautiful blanket
they sent especially for him.

They all love these games. They kept trading
back and forth as they would complete one and
wanted to go right on to another.

Jackie is a wonderful, dedicated staff member.

This girl is a volunteer from Australia who will

work at the home for 9 months.

I gave a few of the folders to a family in our

ward. They are from Kiribati, a small country

here in the South Pacific. Their father stayed

in Kiribati to work while the mother brought

her 5 children to Suva to attend school. They

have few material things and I knew the

children would love the folders. Erin, thank

you for putting this project together.
