Celebrated on December 25 every year, Christmas marks and commemorates the birth of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and the second of the Holy Trinity of Christianity. Christmas is celebrated to remember the birth of Jesus Christ, who Christians believe is the Son of God. The name 'Christmas' comes from the Mass of Christ (or Jesus). A Mass service (which is sometimes called Communion or Eucharist) is where Christians remember that Jesus died for us and then came back to life. It is often combined with customs from pre-Christian winter celebrations. Many people decorate their homes, visit family or friends and exchange gifts. In the days or even weeks before Christmas Day, many people decorate their homes and gardens with lights, Christmas trees and much more.
Every year Christmas is celebrated at Prime Trust on 24th December 2021. This year Christmas was celebrated at Janani Home. This year we invited all the staff members, Interns, neighbours and children of Evening Schools.
After a small prayer, children offered dancing and sang Christmas songs. The children were given gifts and snacks. It was a big fun!

Summary
Prime Trust is involved in inculcating leadership qualities among the children in the slums where Prime Trust is involved with. These parliaments are designed for children between the age of 9 and 14 and encourage them to engage in local, national and international democratic processes. Essentially these children are discussing issues that directly affecting their lives. Through these parliaments we believe that every child should be able to express themselves openly and without fear.
Challenge
The children in the slums do not have good access to quality education as their parents are unable to provide them. The children living in vulnerable condition are not raised well and they do not know their rights. The children are forced to discontinue their studies and sent for employment to support their families thereby losing their opportunity. The ambiance in their area makes the children to pick up bad habits. The children are aware of their rights, political system and environment.
Solution
By running this program, the children start to acquire leadership qualities. The most important aspect of this program is that the children will be made aware of their rights. The children are given information on the political system in India, about the environment. This program helps the children to acquire holistic development.
Long-Term Impact
The long term impact of this program would be to create a potential society who will be assets of our nation.
