Gaahele Mokgoro, Little Eden’s public relations and communications coordinator said the Christmas concert is an anticipated highlight at the NPO.
She said residents prepare for months, showcasing the new skills they have learned and developed throughout the year.
Friends and benefactors of the society travel from near and far to be part of the performances and the residents eagerly anticipate the applause and encouragement from the audience.
This year, the concert theme is 100 Years of Disney, which features characters from Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, High School Musical, The Lion King and The Jungle Book.
Gaahele said these characters will culminate with a classic nativity scene to embrace the true spirit of Christmas.
“The Christmas concert practices also serve as an integral part of the stimulation therapy programme.
“Particularly the singing and dancing segments, which are thoroughly enjoyed by residents,” said Gaahele.
She said by attending this event, visitors not only celebrate the festive season but also contribute to the development of the residents.
