'Star of Christmas' with children of Children's Cancer Foundation and KK Women's & Children's Hospital

OUE welcomed the children of Children's Cancer Foundation (CCF) and KK Women's & Children's Hospital (KKH) to the 'Stars of Christmas' Party on 8 December 2010, and to its Annual Christmas Luncheon on 23 December 2010.  The children were accompanied by their parents, siblings and caregivers.

CCF is a non-profit organisation that aims to provide programmes and services through support channels such as CCF-KKH Resource Centre to aid children and families of childhood cancer and improve their quality of lives through enhancing their emotional, social and medical well-being.

Jointly supported by Meritus Hotels & Resorts (MHR), OUE's hospitality division, the children attended the 'Stars of Christmas' Party for anafternoon of fund and games filled with delectable festive treats.  As part of our dedication to the community, the children were encounraged to hang 'stars', representing the wish of each patient, onto a giant Christmas tree at Mandarin Orchard Singapore.  Management, staff and hotel guests were then encouraged to fulfil children's wishes by donating presents before Christmas Day.

The Christmas charity drive culminated in an Annual Christmas Luncheon hosted by OUE.  Children accompanied by their caregivers were treated to a sumptuous banquet and gifts from Mr. Thio Gim Hock, Chief Executive Officer of OUE, and Mr. Michael Sengol, Chief Executive Officer of MHR.  Our in-house choir group, Meritus Angels, also made its debut with their rendition of classic Christmas carols.

On Boxing Day, more than 200 gaily-wrapped presents were delivered to the children, making this one truly unforgettable Christmas!
