Melcom holds ‘Dress like Santa’ competition

The Melcom Care Foundation, a charity arm of Melcom Group of Companies, at the weekend organised “Dress like Santa” competition for children, as part of its activities marking the yuletide.

The event, aimed at providing the platform to enable children express and exhibit what Christmas is all about, through citations, carols and quiz.

Among the five winners were Seth Adjetey, Morrison Nyarko, Kelvin Nii; who took away GH? 50 shopping voucher each from Melcom, for the 3rd, 4th and 5th positions.

The rest were Maud Nana Akua, who received GH? 75 shopping voucher for placing 2nd as well as Elham Majdoub who grabbed GH? 100 shopping voucher, as the 1st among the winners.

Mr Godwin Avenorgbo, Director of Communications of the Group of Companies, said this year Melcom had done a lot for the adult population, and it was appropriate to celebrate the Christmas with kids; to get that feel of excitement, happiness and sharing.

Mr Avenorgbo described Christmas as a season of sharing, and so children must learn to share among themselves, as portrayed by Santa Claus.

He therefore tasked children to improve their acts, rehearse, and work harder to enable them achieve results, adding: “You must concentrate on your books and cultivate the habit of exercising regularly.”
