Mumbai: The students of BHIS and KK from all the four schools and preschools in the city began with their Christmas celebration from 14 December. Students decided to spread the joy by celebrating Christmas with kids from Angel Express – an NGO working for the unprivileged. The Christmas atmosphere was beautifully created with decorations across all campuses with Christmas trees, bells, balloons and buntings.
The celebrations were held in Bandra, Santacruz, Malad and Nesco centers with Angel Express kids. The program started with Christmas carols followed by Christmas dance performances by students. To mark the occasion, kids were involved in various activities like art and games. Around 250 kids associated with Angel Express visited and spent their day at BHIS and Kangaroo Kids schools across all four centers spread across the city. They organized fun sessions involving sandwich making and serving, games, and storytelling through puppets show for their guests. The students also bought gifts for the kids
