Destiny Rescue, an Australian charity committed to rescuing children from slavery, will hold a screening of ‘The Christmas Candle’ at Avoca Beach Picture Theatre on Thursday, December 18.
‘The Christmas Candle’ is set in the enchanting village of Gladbury, deep in the heart of the English countryside. Legend has it that every 25 years an angel blesses a single candle. Whoever lights this Christmas Candle will receive a miracle. But in 1890, at the dawn of the electric age, this centuries old legend may come to an end. The Christmas Candle’ is suitable for the entire family. Destiny Rescue NSW support manager Ms Cheryl Burton said she was excited by the prospect of this fundraiser providing the means by which another child can be saved from exploitation. “Movie screening fundraisers, and indeed all fundraisers, are critical to the ongoing work of Destiny Rescue. “Every child is precious. “With support from the community, we can raise valuable funds to release more children from slavery,” said Ms Burton.
