The Christmas party of Projeto Tênis na Lagoa was held on Saturday, December 10, 2016. This event has been going on for five years and it only gets better. Every year, more volunteers want to participate, give them love, attention and presents to the children who wish to have a better future. This Christmas party is extremely special not only for the kids but also for the volunteers who get to play and entertain them at the public tennis courts in Lagoa, Rio de Janeiro. To keep the spirit of Christmas alive, by helping and giving gifts, some volunteers get Santa letters and make their dreams come true. It is extremely gratifying to see their smiles when they receive their Christmas presents. That is what makes the whole experience worth it!
