Bringing joy and hope to the hearts of disabled children is important, especially during the Christmas period, a time of love, mercy and peace. This group of young people who have come from the city of Ramla brings with them the announcement of the angel Gabriel: "Do not be afraid, behold, I announce to you a great joy, which will be of the whole people" SAMIRA HABASH Christian from Ramla "It's the first time I've come to a place like this, and I felt Jesus enter my heart and I saw his face in these children, so spontaneous, simple and innocent... I wish the whole world could have some of their simplicity and feel the joy they feel ". With the beginning of Advent, these young people decided to visit the young guests of the Hogar Niño Dio institute in Bethlehem, a home for children who are disabled, abandoned or in serious need. Together they danced, in joy and everyone's heart was filled with happiness. Fr. AYMAN BATHISH, ofm Vicar Latin Parish of Ramleh "On this day when we embark on our journey to Christmas, let us seek Jesus Christ in these children and give them the joy and love that Jesus Christ has given us. This is the message of Christmas: to be present before every person who needs the Saviour as a sign of mercy, love and peace for all and as an incarnation of the message of the Gospel in hearts, minds and daily life". Taking care of people with special needs, integrating them into society is everyone's responsibility.
