Rain Didn't Stop the Fun for The Children's Village

On Saturday, September 19th, The Excel Logistics Trucking Company hosted a softball tournament benefiting The Children’s Village at Christian City. Although the rain stopped some of the events Excel planned, the children still enjoyed a fun game of touch football in the rain. Christian City would like to thank Excel Logistics for hosting this event! The Children’s Village and our kids really appreciate everything that Excel did to make this a great event!

Football Fun at The Children's Village

The children at The Children’s Village enjoyed family time during a cookout with all of the cottages. During the cookout, the kids played fun NFL football games. The children really enjoyed having everyone together enjoying food and each other. This was a great event for them because the kids have all been working so hard during school; it was a fun event to reward them for all their hard work during school.

Prevention Tips Against Swine Flu

With the numerous amounts of swine flu breakouts around the Metropolitan Atlanta area, Christian City and The Children’s Village would like to take some time to give you some tips to help prevent yourself from this flu season. Swine flu is a respiratory disease and has some elements of a virus found in pigs. It spreads quickly since it is a new virus and we are not immune to it.

The best way to protect you from Swine Flu is to practice good hygiene. By not spreading germs and practicing good hygiene you are ultimately slowing down the spread of the virus. Make sure to always carry tissues to cover your nose and mouth when coughing and sneezing then dispose of the tissue after use. Make sure to also sanitize your hands throughout the day with either soap and hot water or sanitizer gel. It is also important to get enough rest to make sure that your immune system is ready to fight any germs. The Children’s Village at Christian City is hoping that you stay healthy and safe during this flu season.

The Children's Village is One Big Family

At The Children's Village, kids live in cottages with full time Christian house parents. The cottages are a home for these children, just like your family home. The Children's Village family is probably much larger than yours though, with up to eight children per cottage. And, in some cottages, the house parents have their own biological children too. Imagine cooking dinner and doing laundry for your own family; now think about doing those chores with two ovens and two washing machines because the family is twice as big. That's a lot of meals to prepare and a lot of laundry to fold! The house parents truly make an impact on the children at The Children's Village. We salute them for all there hard work and commitment to making each child feel loved. God Bless our house parents!

Piano Lessons at The Children's Village

The Children at The Children's Village at Christian City are starting up piano lessons thanks to Ann Edmonson, who not only donated a piano to the Children's Village but also her time to teach the children. Studies have shown that learning how to play a musical instrument improves brain development, teaches discipline, and reduces stress. The kids at The Children's Village are excited for this new opportunity and are even more excited for their weekly lessons!
