One of the World’s International Airline, Emirates, made the Children’s Day memorable for Nigerian kids which was nationally celebrated in the country. Recently held in Lagos, the Emirates organized Children’s Day event, was fun filled with activities ranging from face painting to paper painting, free photo shoots, and receiving the gift of a ‘Fly with Me Animal’ toy for every children participant.
This activity, which was in line with the airline’s felicitation with young travelers and intending young travelers, provided an opportunity for various school children and every Nigerian children, the opportunity to have fun and to feel honoured by the airline. The mall played host to lots of children at the Emirates’ podium, with selected children dressed in the pilot and cabin crew wears. In appreciation, some parents expressed their gratitude towards Emirates for organizing this.
According to one of the parents who also is a teacher, Mrs Mary Silas, ‘Children’s day is worth celebrating just like Father’s Day and Mother’s Day are also celebrated. It is a day to revive, celebrate and commit our children and their future. As we know, Children’s Day is a day to celebrate children for who they are, they are cherished by parents and the society at large. Of course parents want a day in which they can map out time to give their children a special treat aside from the festive periods.
Also some children are used as labourers, made to live on the streets, disabled, abducted, abused, exploited, discriminated against, suffer violence, amongst others. A day like the Children’s Day is mapped out to give hope to such children, making them realize that the future holds a lot for them, so that the psychological trauma of such doesn’t linger into their future. Emirates took a wise decision to have organized this. However, my sincere gratitude goes to Emirates Airline for organizing this. It’s really worth it”.
Another parent who also happens to be a caterer, Mrs Moturayo Lawal, “Children are recognized as important part of the society, so Children’s Day focuses on the significance of loving, accepting and appreciating children. It’s a good thing that Emirates organized this special event for children inviting children to take part in the activities like face painting, drawing and paintings, free photo-shots, and receiving the gift of a toy.
