Christmas in Rwanda

The clinicians of Community Counseling came together to support a project called Christmas in Rwanda.  This year we were able to send 12 boxes of clothing, toys, and books to impoverished children in Rwanda, many of who are orphaned and affected by diseases such as HIV and malaria. The drive was completed on December 1, 2007 with a holiday party hosted by Keisha Cox, LCSW, MS and Milagros M. Gonzales, LCSW.  You can see a video clipping of Christmas in Rwanda on Youtube.
