“No one can
celebrate a genuine Christmas without being truly poor…Only the
poor, the hungry those who need someone to come on their behalf,
will have that someone, Emmanuel, God-with-us”. - St. Oscar Romero,
Christmas, 1978
Vimukti Pothnal takes the initiatives to celebrate Christmas
with migrant families. we believe always migrates workers are
excluded from all the celebrations and we made a point to include
them in our celebration. We visited all the tents of the migrates
and welcome them for the program and we distributed Christmas cake,
and sweets. The program began with welcome note and followed by
cutting the Christmas cake. The migrant families are living in the
tent made of tarpaulin sheets. These families have come from cross
the states working as the road constructions. On this occasion
migrants’ families had sumptuous meals together and various lucky
games, and winners were distributed prizes and gifts.
