Christmas Program for ChildrenSlum children in Phnom Penh don’t have much going

for them, but thanks to the work of United MethodistMissionary Clara Biswas, they can experience the joyof Christmas. Every year Biswas puts on a Christmasprogram for children at Daem Kor Village, who scav-enge at the dump site, and orphans at the Children of Light Home. They learn the Christmas story so theycan put on a pageant. At the end of the show, theyeach receive a meal and gift.

of the country’s most remote villages. To help easethe burden on sick patients, the church helps coverexpenses of transport and meals during treatment.
