The Christmas celebrations at the school were kicked off with Jet Airways’ cabin crew clad in Santa hats and masks, presenting a large Christmas Cake to nearly 300 children from the school, many of whom are underprivileged or have special needs. Cutting the their Christmas cake brought smiles on the faces of the young wards.
To add to the fun and element of surprise, Big Home Video had Po the central character from the popular children’s film Kung Fu Panda, parading around the children. This was a very special activity consisting of a Costume Visit for Po, Meet and Greet Po and Photo-opportunity with Po sessions for kids.
