On Saturday, 13. february on the occasion of Valentine’s day, the children from „Mothers village“ were visited by the drama group “Čačkavalj“ from Čapljina. Fourteen students-members of this group, who attend 6. grade of primary school, performed their cheerful play and dancing show in front of the children of the Village. Their head leader is prof. of croatian language Jasna Sušac. The aim of this event, so as other numerals events which took place here was to „laugh and make happy children in need“ – as a little reporter from this group explains: Danijel Jelčić.
They had already been in „Mothers Village“ in august, 2009. when they brought a big help in food from the Red Cross. “We want to perform where ever indicates a good opportunity to elicit a smile!”- says Danijel, and as they were always welcomed and honoured in the Village, they promise to show a lot of new and good plays.

For us adults the snow usually brings many inconveniences. It is, for example, hard to reach our work places safely. For the children, on the contrary, it is a great opportunity to enjoy many great moments. When it is snowing the school is usually closed - a beautiful occasion to spend a day playing in the snow. We can not omit the snowball fighting and the inevitable snowman. After we are all chilled through what follows is the tea and cookies party by the wood fire of the stoves that you can find in every house of the village. You can see on the photographs taken during these January days in The Mother's Village that it was just like that.

16-18.12.2009 The Christmas sktis were held for the six groups of St. Teresa Little Flower day care center.

The childrens faces and voices warmed the hearts of their parents and audiences, and they showed us what is important for all of us, a loving, warm, and safe family.
21.12.2009 For the first time we held a small christmas skit for the children who are in the course for early english language learning. Under the leadership of their teacher, Anite, fifty children from this group rejoiced through the songs they performed, which they learned in such a short period of time.

Friday, 5 December 2009. Even this year St. Nicolas did not forget to pay visit to the children in the Kindergarten St. Little Therese in the Mother’s village. He descended from the roof in his robe and silver boots and strolled among gleeful children who greeted him cheerfully. He greeted children and they sang together. Each child was given little present and was able to take photo with St. Nicholas. Welcoming to St. Nicolas was prepared so well and the kindergarten was so beautifully decorated that St. Nicolas promised he would like to come next year!
