HSBC once again spreads Christmas joy
View(s):
For over ten years, HSBC has been spreading the joy of the season with those less fortunate. This year too, the bank brought smiles to the faces of over 350 children from four children’s orphanages. The Christmas programme was held from November 28 to December 5 at the Salvation Army Girls School Dehiwela, Paritas Convent (Meth Mihira Special Education Centre) Moratuwa, Community Concern Dehiwela and Sri Jinananda Children’s home Wellawatte.
HSBC employees who volunteered for the programme met with staff from the four homes to understand the requirements of the children in order to plan for the special celebrations with them. Children were entertained with sing-alongs and fun games and treated to delicious festive goodies with a surprise visit by Santa who handed out gifts to all the little ones and joined in to sing their favourite Christmas Carols. The lovingly made decorations, grand Christmas trees and twinkling Santa hats complimented by the happy, sweet notes of children singing carols and Christmas songs rang in the true spirit of Christmas.
