As part of its CSR programme, InterContinental Jakarta MidPlaza celebrated the lighting of its Christmas tree by giving back to those in need, inviting kids from Pondok Si Boncel orphanage for an evening of merriment and Christmas warmth.
Thursday, 26th November, 2015 was an especially joyous day for the little angels at Pondok Si Boncel orphanage as they became the special guests at InterContinental Jakarta MidPlaza’s Christmas tree lighting ceremony. Amidst the fun-filled event, the Lobby Lounge was transformed into any child’s perfect image of Christmas — cotton candies, popcorn, sweets, puddings, heaps of toys, even Barney and Santa were present to spread the love and joy — and, of course, the tall, richly decorated Christmas tree that was the focal point of the event. Upon closer inspection, the Christmas tree had purchasable holiday cards that gave the guests privileges to make sure the children enjoyed a very merry Christmas, courtesy of InterContinental Jakarta MidPlaza.
The joyful evening at InterContinental Jakarta MidPlaza was hosted by Melaney Ricardo and featured a number of entertainments, such as music performances by Momo Geisha and Nares and an astounding magic show. General Manager Hendrik Eising delivered a very sincere speech in Bahasa Indonesia, which was then followed by a heart-warming choir performance by Studio Ratu Makin.
The lighting of the tree brought smiles and merriness to children and grownups alike as they experienced the evening in the sacred spirit and joy of Christmas, which made for an entirely enjoyable evening dedicated to a noble cause.
