Christmas & New Year Celebration
Spreading Hope and Joy: SOAF’s Christmas & New Year Celebration
📍 Compassionate Hope Foundation (CHF), Nakhon Nayok – December 28, 2024
As the year drew to a close, the Save One Another Foundation (SOAF) gathered at Compassionate Hope Foundation (CHF) to celebrate Christmas and the arrival of a new year with the children, caregivers, and community members. This special event was dedicated to spreading warmth, faith, and encouragement, reinforcing SOAF’s unwavering mission of love, resilience, and community restoration.
A Celebration Rooted in Faith & Fellowship
The day was filled with laughter, gratitude, and faith-centered activities designed to uplift spirits and empower the children:
✨ Empowering Workshops for Children – Engaging activities that provided children with the tools to explore creativity, build self-confidence, and embrace resilience through faith.
✨ Faith-filled Inspirational Messages & Testimonies – Caregivers and mentors shared powerful stories of faith, perseverance, and healing, reminding everyone that God’s love is ever-present, even in life’s challenges.
✨ Gifts of Encouragement & Practical Support – Each child received a gift bag filled with essential supplies, educational materials, and faith-based inspiration, ensuring they stepped into the new year feeling supported and valued.
✨ Celebratory Meal & Fellowship – A community feast brought everyone together, creating moments of connection, gratitude, and joy as we reflected on God’s blessings throughout the year.
A Moment of Reflection & Renewed Hope
During the celebration, a special prayer session was held where children, caregivers, and volunteers gathered in unity to express their hopes for the future and gratitude for the past year.
One child, a 12-year-old boy who had recently joined the foundation, shared:
"Before I came here, I felt alone. But today, I feel like I have a family. Thank you for giving me hope."
These words served as a powerful reminder of SOAF’s purpose—to be a beacon of light for those seeking healing, faith, and belonging.
Looking Ahead: A Future of Faith & Service
As SOAF steps into the new year, it remains committed to:
🌟 Expanding community outreach programs that provide sustainable support for vulnerable children and families.
🌟 Continuing faith-based mentorship initiatives, ensuring that every child has a guiding hand to lead them toward hope and purpose.
🌟 Strengthening collaborations with partners like CHF, to create lasting change and impact through love, compassion, and service.
This beautiful gathering reminded us of Jeremiah 29:11:
"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
