2024 Xmas Party

Yesterday, on December 23rd, we hosted our much-anticipated Christmas party at Elevatus. It was a heartwarming event, bringing together our sponsored students and 15 new children from a nearby elementary school. The excitement was palpable as the children arrived on time, joined by several of their teachers and the school's director, Madame Clotilde.

For those who may not know, back in 2016, Elevatus played a significant role in this elementary school by funding the construction of a much-needed extension. Seeing Madame Clotilde's joy at welcoming us back, this time to sponsor new students, was a poignant reminder of how our efforts can create lasting connections and opportunities for growth.

The celebration began with a simple but much-loved treat: sandwiches for everyone. Soon after, the courtyard came alive with laughter and energy as the children participated in a Zumba dance session under the morning sun. The sky was bright, but the heat was still bearable, making it the perfect time for the children to show off their moves.

As the sun climbed higher, we treated everyone to a sweet feast of cake, chocolates, and refreshing drinks. The event could have ended there, but the students had other plans! They were eager to keep the party going and asked to move the Zumba session inside the new school building to escape the blazing midday heat.

What was meant to be a short celebration extended for three more hours of fun, laughter, and dancing. The children's enthusiasm was boundless, and their joy was infectious. It was a beautiful reminder of why we do what we do at Elevatus.

This Christmas party was more than just an event; it was a celebration of community, growth, and the incredible potential of these young minds. Thank you to everyone who supports our mission. Together, we’re not just changing lives; we’re creating memories that last a lifetime.

Merry Christmas from all of us at Elevatus!
