The kids loved the work shop, preparing Christmas decorations etc. The adults loved the market buying gifts for the upcoming holidays.
Since all kids had been very kind during the year Santa Claus arrived from nowhere to the Swedish School in Longacres, Lusaka, Zambia, and gave all children well appreciated gifts. This year no kids got scared, but the secret about the man with the white beard still wasn't revealed ... at least not to the youngest part of the community.
A lottery was held to raise money for the sister school in Ndola, the Dag Hammarskjold Memorial School. More about this will be published in the upcoming issue of our newsletter Blaskan, send out beginning of January 2011.
Finally the teachers of the Swedish School, Lillian and Ingrid, together with the kids taking Swedish at the school performed some traditional Christmas carols in the Lucia procession.
