The group donned on red shirts and Christmas bonnets and sang Christmas carols in English and in German.

The carolling project has been a yearly activity of the VESCC community, led by Carmen Camarata, a long-standing community member. It is an event that the children of Kinder Fey look forward to each Christmas, particularly since a hearty snack always follow the performance. For the participating community members, it is a worthwhile and meaningful event that allows the community to spread the spirit of Christmas to those less fortunate.
