Orphans already in Christmas mood

Even though Christmas is a few days away a group of children from two orphanages on Mahe were already in the festive mood when they were hosted to a party at the Berjaya Beau Vallon Bay Hotel Friday December 19.

Altogether some 40 children, aged from five to 16, were united for this special occasion together with the management of Berjaya Hotel.

After a sumptuous lunch in the Parrot Restaurant, they were brought to the beach to greet Santa, whose arrival on a jet ski delighted the children.

All present on that day received a Christmas gift from Santa.

The programme for the day, which lasted until 3 p.m., included other forms of entertainment.

The general manager of Berjaya Hotels and Resorts Seychelles, Mr Khoo Boo Beng, said that it was a great pleasure for the hotel to have this yearly charity event for the less fortunate. He added that events like these bring joy to those children especially now that Christmas is near.

The company also attends to other needs of orphanages whenever requests arise and also makes contributions with the aim of bettering the living conditions of the residents.
