Christmas miracle in Bärnbach

Children’s party and present handover in Bärnbach

The big day had arrived: On 7th December, the Child & Family Foundation, Cashback World Partners, myWorld Austria, the Mayor of Bärnbach, the Red Night Team and a group of volunteers made a Christmas miracle come true for 27 disadvantaged families living in the Voitsberg/Bärnbach region.

Christmas is not a happy time for everyone.  Christmas, the festival of love, is, however, a good opportunity to do someone else a good turn.  That’s why, on 7th December, all decided it was time to do something for a good cause. In so doing, they threw a party and prepared gifts for families struggling during the Christmas period.

“It was a truly unique experience for all of us to organise an unforgettable Christmas party for these families who often don’t have it so easy” explained Heidemarie Kipperer, Managing Director to myWorld Austria, visibly moved.

It was a pretty emotional day for all involved and many got the chance to experience the magic of Christmas for the first time, whilst munching on festive pastries and drinking punch.  The children enjoyed a truly unforgettable day, having their faces painted and doing a bit of arts and crafts.  The highlight of the day was Nikolaus’ visit and he handed out Nikolaus sacks to the children.

The Child & Family Foundation had also prepared gifts for the families and all recipients were very grateful for them.

The Child & Family Foundation thanked all supporters, the hostess, Veronika Gupper, all the volunteers and the local Partners, as, without them, the campaign wouldn’t have been possible.
