Of course, Christmas is a Christian celebration, but Muslims also enjoy the warmth and togetherness of the season. In December, many blankets were distributed at the brick factories, and the Christmas message was shared as well, a story of hope and new life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The children absolutely love preparing performances and dancing together. It all looks so normal, but some of these children actually grew up in brick factories\u2026 they had no future, no joy, and did not go to school. Now they are dancing happily among friends!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is beautiful to see how these celebrations bring connection and joy. On to a new year full of freedom and full of life!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Christmas oefenen\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hJUr5QdgO4A?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stoneinternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1a_christmas-700x525.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3733\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stoneinternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1a_christmas-700x525.jpeg 700w, https:\/\/www.stoneinternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1a_christmas-250x188.jpeg 250w, https:\/\/www.stoneinternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1a_christmas-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.stoneinternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1a_christmas-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.stoneinternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1a_christmas-120x90.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/www.stoneinternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1a_christmas.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3736,"template":"","program":[5,16,4,3],"class_list":["post-3735","projects","type-projects","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","program-befree","program-ilearn","program-improof","program-widows-fund"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>End of the year - stOne international<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.stoneinternational.org\/en\/projects\/end-of-the-year\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"End of the year - stOne international\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Christmas is always celebrated in a big way here, just like back home.
