The Leela Bhartiya City Bengaluru hosted a heartwarming Tree Lighting Ceremony on December 7, 2024, celebrating the spirit of the festive season in the most meaningful way. The event brought together the spirited children of the Home of Faith Charitable Trust, creating unforgettable moments of joy and togetherness.
The hotel unveiled its stunning sustainable Christmas tree for the second year in a row. Meticulously crafted from preserved leaves, discarded clothes, metal, glass, and LED lights, the tree stood as a shining testament to eco-consciousness and the true spirit of giving. The event welcomed 45 children from the Home of Faith Charitable Trust, who brought the festive spirit alive with a touching carol-singing performance. Their infectious energy and heartfelt smiles lit up the atmosphere.
The evening included a delightful service of festive treats such as finger bites, mulled wine, and eggnog for the hotel’s esteemed resident guests. The children were treated to a delicious meal and received special Christmas goodies, adding to their joy and excitement.
Speaking on the occasion, Ms. Smita Rathod, Director of Rooms, The Leela Bhartiya City Bengaluru, said “This event is more than just a celebration; it is about spreading hope and making a difference. We are honored to have shared this special evening with the children from Home of Faith Charitable Trust. Their resilience and positivity inspire us all, and it’s a privilege to be part of their journey.”
The Home of Faith Charitable Trust supports children from Karnataka’s gypsy and devadasi communities, as well as children of single parents battling HIV. The trust focuses on nurturing these children to help them grow into independent and confident individuals.
