SEREMBAN – Childhood is a blessing and one of the most joyful phases of life. In celebration of this, Children’s Day came early for the kids of Kg Sebir in Labu, Seremban, on Oct 12.
The Women’s Ministry of the Church of the Visitation led the celebration, collaborating with the Orang Asli Ministry, Migrant Ministry, and Creation Justice Ministry. The event kicked off with a warm-up session led by Audrey Dass, followed by a lively mini football tournament, with Fr Xavier Andrew, the parish priest, taking the first kick.
The small field next to the chapel was adorned with colourful buntings, adding to the festive atmosphere. The children’s excitement grew when Fr Xavier personally greeted them, shaking hands and sharing in their joy. It was a day full of energy, with both children and parents playing games and dancing with enthusiasm.
The dedicated volunteers from the Women’s Ministry, led by Annie Naden, also provided a delicious meal for everyone. Each child received presents, goody bags, and had the chance to participate in a lucky draw together with their parents.
The event was a resounding success, brimming with fun, laughter, and community spirit. The Women’s Ministry coordinator and event manager, Gloria Jagannathan, extended her heartfelt thanks to the generous donors, Fr Xavier, and the teams from the Orang Asli, Migrant, and Creation Justice ministries for their collaboration. She hopes for more joint efforts in the future. – Herald Malaysia
