VIP treatment for children
International Bank Vaults held its annual Children’s VIP Day at Durban Exhibition Centre.
A TOTAL of 2 500 less privileged children from in and around Durban were treated to an interactive day of fun, treats, games, entertainment and pampering in the company of sports stars, musicians and entertainment celebrities as part of the sixth IBV Children’s VIP Day, through their IBV Humanities Division, at the Durban Exhibition Centre on Sunday.
The line up offered fun and excitement for the teens and pre-teens who live in children’s homes and places of safety, as they got a chance to meet some of their heroes from the sports field, music, stage and screen, participate in games and challenges, paint, eat, play, sing and create, while being supervised, served and assisted by executives who donated their time and skills to this worthy cause.
IBV International Vaults forged partnerships with corporates, civic organisations, service providers, small businesses and individuals who got on board to lend their weight to this innovative event to add value to the Children’s VIP Day, with the intention of forming lasting partnerships with children’s organisations and homes.
“Since its inception, the essential purpose of this day has been to make a large number of underprivileged children VIP’s for a day while business leaders play as reversal of roles as their executive helpers,” said IBV CEO Ashok Sewnarain.
The concept is that the day is a ‘cash-less’ initiative. Partners supported giveaways on the day in the form of tog bags, clothing, maths sets, calculators, stationery, books, toiletries, sweets and games, transport, food and beverages, entertainment and activities.
