mrs fanjulLast Friday December 27th, the Fundación MIR did a fantastic job with their live nativity performance at the Altos de Chavón Plaza in front of the St. Stanislaus church.

All looking spectacular with their costumes, the talented children of the Fundación MIR boys and girls schools, presented their annual performance of the Christmas story. A beautiful combination of carols and acting, the little ones brought the miracle of Christ’s birth to life for the gathered audience of adults and children from the greater Casa de Campo community.

Proud onlookers included Lian Fanjul de Azqueta, founder of the Fundación MIR and Lyanne Azqueta, vice-president of the Fundación MIR, who beamed with pride as they witnessed the fantastic job their charity is doing in educating and caring for these young adults.
