The event was supported by community leaders, organisations and local businesses coming together to create a fun and meaningful experience for children, many of whom do not often have the opportunity to attend such events.

Hamilton Jacobs, chairperson of the Patriotic Alliance in Ward 57, who shared details of the day, said the event was filled with energy and excitement.

“The event was an absolute blast,” he said.

Metro World Kids South Africa led the main programme, engaging the children through interactive activities while teaching them about the true meaning of Christmas.

Metro Kids emphasised that Christmas is about the birth of Christ and that every child should remember this message.

The children participated enthusiastically throughout the programme.

Jacobs explained that Metro World Kids South Africa is well known for its work in schools around Eden Park, where it regularly interacts with children on school premises.

Luize from Krotoa added to the lively atmosphere by leading exercise sessions, encouraging the children to stay active while sharing information about fitness and healthy living.

Jacobs also expressed appreciation for the support received from Alderman Dino Petersen.

He said the organisation wanted to thank him for his continuous support and for allowing children from the community and surrounding areas to enjoy a memorable day, especially those who do not often experience events of this nature.
