A Christmas charity show was held at Sheraton Hotel in Beijing's Haidian district by Bethel Training Center on Dec 11, where blind children from Bethel and volunteers performed the classic "A Christmas Carol" and "Charter Woman". The Bethel choir also performed classic Christmas songs such as "Jingle Bells" and "Shining House" for the audience.
Committed to foster care, education and vocational training for blind children and vision-impaired orphans, Bethel is an institution established by the French couple Guillaume and Delphine Gauvain. The blind children had a rare opportunity to participate in this annual charity performance, where they met with supporters, made new friends and enjoyed the festive atmosphere.
