Christmas in Malawi

Sparkle's Christmas Party

The Festive season is a time to gather with loved ones and friends, exchange gifts, enjoy wonderful food and spend quality time together and Christmas came early for the Sparkle Foundation Malawi. As early as the 14th December 2022, when a Christmas party ceremony was held at the Sparkle Foundation site in Zomba, Malawi. The Chiefs, parents, community members and the Sparkle Foundation children all attended and the day was full of eye-catching performances from the children, the youth and women’s group to mention a few. There was drama from the Sparkle youth group, dancing from the Sparkle dancers, singing from the women’s group and many other activities.


Perhaps most eye catching was the dance performance by the Sparkle dancers who had the audience clapping and applauding as the dancing boys moved seamlessly on the stage elevated in front of the crowd in their Hope design tops.


The party even got more exciting when Santa came out with the gifts for the children in packages comprised of school shoes, crocs, t-shirts, candy, rulers, gift cards and some more, which were donated by partners and friends of The Sparkle Foundation.

The Chiefs, youth group and Sparkle staff also received presents to make their Christmas memorable.
