As part of their celebration for International World Children’s Day, Johnson Baby dedicated a special day for children, hosted at The Fun Factory in Nawala, as they brought together adults and children alike to share their love and happiness.
The event will be featured as a special episode on Johnson Baby’s television program, ‘Aadaraye Palamu Padama’ (First Lessons in Love) hosted by celebrity mom Yehali Sangakkara which will air on ITN on 5 October, at 5 p.m.
Johnson Baby invited children between the ages of three to five from Mallika Children’s Home and families who are friends of Johnson’s Baby to be a part of this special program. The children enjoyed a great variety of activities amidst a safe and exciting environment. A separate activity centre and play zone enabled the children to channel their excitement and enthusiasm, allowing them to have the time of their lives.
A special guest performance by singer Mariazelle Gunathilaka and a storytelling session catered to aspects of child development and care. Families with toddlers and infants also had their share of fun in the special soft area designed especially for them. The event came to a joyful end with a special cake cutting ceremony customised for this occasion and the kids were given gifts by Johnson’s baby and the families that attended the event.
Commenting on the success of the event, Varun Das, Country Head of Johnson & Johnson for Sri Lanka and the Maldives, stated: “This special Children’s Day event is the brand’s initiative to bring together families and children from all pillars of society to instil from a young age, the importance of ‘Sharing the Language of Love’. The initiative stemmed from a global campaign that was introduced by Johnson’s Baby India, where parents were asked to encourage children to share their toys with less fortunate children. We are immensely pleased with the turnout at the event as families joined us to give these children a day of pure excitement and joy. The children were given a safe environment to stimulate their senses and partake in activities in the most engaging and fun way possible. Over the years Johnson & Johnson has proven to be a brand that places the care and development of children at the forefront of their objectives and the success of this event substantially capitalised on this. We thank each and every mother and child that contributed towards this success and hope that we will receive such warm support in our future endeavours.”
