Jet Airways, India’s premier international airline, in a warm gesture, ushered in the festive season amongst 300 children of NGO ‘Save The Children India’. The airline celebrated Christmas with a range of fun-filled activities for the students from marginalized sections and those with special needs. The event kicked off with a cake cutting ceremony courtesy Sky Gourmet, who sponsored a Christmas themed cake. The airline’s Cabin Crew participated in the same along with the students, which made for an interesting photo opportunity. Organised by Jet Airways, this event held every quarter, is part of the airline’s CSR initiative focusing on causes relating to child development and education in the community, in association with NGO ‘Save the Children India’.
Corporate partner Sony DADC created much delight amongst the young wards with the introduction of Smurf, a mascot from Sony Pictures’ movie ‘The Smurfs 2’ available on Sony DADC home video. Reliance Home Videos and Games (RHVG) supported the cause by sponsoring a popular brand of crayons ‘Crayola’ for a coloring activity, which displayed the artistic abilities of the young minds.
The celebrations ended with gifts and prizes galore for lucky winners and the young participants, making for a memorable day for all.
Mr. Gaurang Shetty, Senior Vice President, Jet Airways, said, “Jet Airways has always believed in supporting social causes which bring about the development and education of children, especially those most at –risk in our society. We have been proud of our association with ‘Save The Children India’ not only on board, but have extended the same at the community and school levels. Celebrating Christmas at the School in association with our corporate partners, is but a small way we hope to bring in positive change to the lives of the young ones.”
