Children from the Erongo House of Safety; Swakopmund Tears of Hope; Promise Land Soup Kitchen; Promise Land Play School; Kids Haven and Jonah Home were treated to a party filled with lots of games, goodies and of course Santa Claus.

O&L employee Tanja Payne said “Our employees are very passionate about the annual OVC Christmas party and are committed to make a positive impact on the lives of these children.
