The children had fun as they were treated to good music, entertainment parked with dancing competitions, chair dancing among others.
Speaking to Narkie Nartey, Founder of Benevolent Hearts Foundation after the successful event she indicated that the aim of the Foundation is mainly to support orphans.

“We’ve demonstrated this commitment over the years and I must say that this is the 5th time in a row orphans and deprived children are benefitting from the Foundation during the Christmas festivities, but this time around we have managed to organize a much bigger party compared to the previous ones because we have expanded the project to reach out not only to orphans but also to children in deprived communities like Fodzoku,” she added.
