Embassy Niamey’s marine detachment and a team of volunteers visited two orphanages this year for the annual Toys for Tots program.

Each year, Embassy Niamey’s marines collect toy donations for an orphanage in Niamey to distribute on Christmas Day.   With extra donations from the Embassy community, the marines made two deliveries this Christmas, each with a special appearance by Père Noël. Surrounded by fun toys, smiling faces, and the spirit of giving, Embassy volunteers enjoyed the holiday cheer as much as the children they visited.
