Gingerbread House Party 2013!!
We kicked off the Christmas season this year with the grand Gingerbread House Party at the Plaza Athenee last Saturday on Nov. 30th.
It was the hotel’s wonderful way to connect needs to resources , providing a fun activity for kids& families to enjoy while raising funds for disadvantaged communities and kids in CTM’s service projects. With a variety of creamy icing, M&Ms, and other colorful toppings, the children and their parents had a ball in designing and decorating their gingerbread cookies, before plastering some on the gingerbread house, and bringing the rest home.
Traditional Christmas carols and songs filled the air, as the Niva International School choir impressed all with their repertoire. Just when everyone thought the fun was over, the children from the Thanksgiving Home drew in the crowds with their magic tricks! These LD, Down’s and mentally-challenged kids performed some great tricks including one where they pulled a live dove from a ‘book’ where it was previously just a picture. To everyone’s surprise, including their mentor, Khun wanchai, the bird flew right off and settled in the high branches of the hotel’s Christmas tree! That soon became the focus of all the cameras! Fortunately, after a while in the spotlight, the dove eventually flew down and was caught by a wily security guard.
We at CTM are indeed most grateful for the hotel’s generous support and kind contribution to our work, through this event.
