DECEMBER 2013 NEWSLETTER

 

Greetings from Miryante Orphans Home

First off we would like to thank all of our Sponsors and Donors for their generous contributions.

Of course it was the month of Xmas and thanks to your kind donations we were able to give all the children new clothes for presents, which they were all very excited about and we even had a mini fashion show as they all tried them on.

We also ate very well and the children were spoilt for choices as we had a range of beef, chicken, goat and pork to choose from as well as rice, beans, Irish potatoes and sodas.

The day was extremely joyful with the children singing and dancing and playing games throughout the day. We had two great sessions of Mass, one in the morning and one in the early evening as the sun set. Led by Father Aloysious they were filled with prayers for loved ones, thanks and appreciation for a wonderful year, and the usual hymns sung by the children

Father Aloysious and the church leaders.

All the children enjoying evening Mass.

MIRYANTE XMAS FASHION SHOW 2013

 

New York Fashion week comes  to Miryante. Eria sports the latest trend out of Paris, the very chic ‘Men’s Summer Scarf’ over a plain white, short sleeve button up.

Here we have Katumba wearing a wrap-around Hooded Scarf and low cut T-Shirt and Mukama looking dashing in a button up Long Sleeve and tailored Vest.

 

 

Looking stunning in designer evening wear we have Nyangoma, Jane and Nyakato representing for the girls of Miryante!

 

More lovely summer wear from our girls at Miryante Orphans Home. This show really would stand up against the big events like London and Milan fashion week.

A round of applause  please for all our stars of the show and a big thank you to all our donors and sponsors for making it all possible. It was a great night, we look forward to more ground-breaking fashion next Xmas and a special thanks to our photographer Olly for capturing all the action.
