NASSAU, The Bahamas – The Bahamas Crisis Centre held its Annual Children’s Christmas Party on Wednesday, December 17, 2014 at St Matthew’s Anglican Parish Hall on Shirley and Church Streets. An estimated 210 children accompanied by their parents, who are clients of the Centre, were feted to a night of traditional Christmas meal, games, toys and prizes.

The Crisis Centre would like to thank its many donors – organizations and individuals – for generously contributing to making the evening a special and enjoyable one for the many who are victims of domestic violence and other forms of abuses.

Leading up to the party, the Crisis Centre held three toy drives at the Mall at Marathon on November 29, December 6 and December 13 – in an effort to ensure that each child attending the party would receive a gift. The Crisis Centre is happy to report that it actually happened.

The Bahamas Crisis Centre is a non-profit, ideologically independent organization primarily pledged to respond to the needs of all victims of sexual, physical and psychological abuse.
