Fun day for children at SOS Village

The fun event also gave the children the opportunity to dj their songs of choice with the World Cup 2010 track, Waka waka by Shakira and Freshlyground proving a popular hit with the children.

According to the convener of the event, Thabiso Nasha, the event was aimed at providing the children with a day of song, dance and braai.

It was music and song galore from 10am till sunset, with performances by a new local act, Tiger and his back up team as well as DJ music in between.

The children also went head to head in a dancing competition under the watchful eye of one of Botswana's accomplished performers in Letso

Bakwena of Da Vet Crew.

Bokamoso Hospital marketing manager, Agnes Mogotsi said it is important that the corporate sector from time to time lend support to institutions such as SOS and pledged to look into ways in which the Bokamoso Brand together with the SOS could work closely to achieve the common goal of supporting Botswana's Children.

She further said while Bokamoso Private Hospital is a recent establishment, it is through the support that Batswana have shown and continue to show to the hospital that has enabled the hospital to continue to contribute towards charitable causes.

Bokamoso is Botswana's most advanced and equipped private hospital with experienced and qualified staff. It officially opened its doors to the public this year, posturing as Southern Africa's best medical facility.

Representing Choppies Stores, the marketing executive Oitsile Marole said Choppies's social responsibility initiatives continually focus on charities.

Marole said they would continue to support charities, especially those associated with improving the welfare of future leaders of this country who are the children.

Marole highlighted the importance of simple fun for children and its importance in a child's development.

'It is only when one visits the SOS that one can truly understand and feel the love and innocence that is extended by children in challenging situations, their strength and love of life is nothing short of inspiring and admirable,' said Nasha. (Sila Press Agency)
