The Community House in Szeged had its Advent family days on 7th and 8th of December. The fifth class students from group three met on the 8th at 1 p.m. to taste the first Advent family day. Our biggest room seemed small again as so many children, sisters and brothers, parents and grandparents came to celebrate the day together. First, Patyi Izabella recited her Christmas poem than Fábián Berta played on flute some Christmas pieces. After the performances, we looked back on the past year which was followed by the story of the four Advent candles and we also lit the second candle while the presents were given to the families. The best of all was the yearbook with all the good moments that happened during the year. In the afternoon at four o’clock the secondary school students of group three arrived for their family day. After the late summer family day, we came together again to chat, remember and have a nice afternoon together. A lot happened in 2019 and proof of it is the thicker and thicker yearbook. All the children, parents and grandparents thank for the Foundation the support and all year work.
