NoidaMoms anticipated a great day today as they wanted to make Bal Kutir children’s day special by spending time with them, sharing things and having fun with them but never expected that Bal Kutir children will make NoidaMoms day special with their love, affection and happiness. It was amazing; uplifted us totally.
On Christmas day NoidaMoms arranged a Christmas party at Sai Kripa Bal Kutir in Noida to celebrate Christmas with 60 children who live at Bal Kutir. Entire three hours party was power packed performances by Moms as well as by children followed by special MacDonald Aloo Ticky Burger, wafers and coke that Bal Kutir children had insisted for. NoidaMoms also arranged for DJ music for the party.
The day started with all moms with their children reaching Bal Kutir at 11 am. All moms with their children greeted the Bal Kutir children with Hi Five and wishing Merry Christmas. Hereafter all children and moms became one team. They all were randomly divided into 4 teams to decorate the Bal Kutir to welcome Santa. All teams got decoration material with some blank cut outs to be colored by children as creatively as possible. All decoration material was put on hangings tied to trees in the garden. Children really enjoyed the engaging and creative task of decorating their place to welcome Santa. As soon as their decoration was complete to their pleasant surprise Santa arrived, singing Christmas Carols, distributing gifts and chocolates. Santa met all the children one-by-one and gave them gifts and chocolates. Children also gave their wish list to Santa to get them those gifts next year. Santa danced with children and before leaving for next destination Santa cut the cake with children. Children bid farewell to Santa by singing “Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer…” with Bal Kutir’s star kid Akshay playing keyboard live to the tune.
After Santa had left all moms got together to sing “Chhan Chhan Ghanti Bajti Hai…” Christmas song for the children. And in return Bal Kutri children danced on Bollywood numbers to leave moms speechless and clapping non-stop.
Party concluded with all moms and children enjoying MacDonald Aloo Ticky burger, wafers, cake and coke.
‘Ekk Junoon’ – a performing arts group founded by Anamika Gautam and Vivek Mittal, choreographed the entire event. Ekk Junoon engaged the children into activities and created various performances of moms and children at the event.
“Children at Bal Kutir are well taken care and well groomed under able guidance of Mrs. Anjana ji. We felt connection with Bal Kutir and fell in love with children as soon we walked into the place. We would keep coming back to this place and do as much as possible to support this amazing initiative” said Shruti Mittal Founder of NoidaMoms
“Children told me that every time somebody does an event at Bal Kutir they give us puri and halwa. We don’t want puri halwa. We like MacDonald Aloo Ticky burger, wafers, cake and coke. And that was it we decided the menu then and there” said Shavi Gupta of NoidaMoms.
“Our children met and became one with Bal Kutir children but there is a big learning our children took home from todays experience – our children learnt how to celebrate life. Find happiness in small things. It was a great day for all moms & children. This Christmas party will be remembered for long time!” said Anamika Gautam Creative Head - Ekk Junoon
