For New Year 2007 celebrations, we invited to HCL Head Office, fifty two children from an SOS village for a children’s’ party. Children as young as four years, came to meet us. Bright faces with sunny smiles – that is how we remember the kids. From the moment they arrived, it was a memorable few hours of fun, frolic and learning. HCLite generosity also ensured that all children went back with new year gifts along with happy memories, food and drink of the party.
Each child was presented a gift, specially chosen and purchased according to the interest of the child, by an HClite desiring to a bring a smile to a little child. Gifts never fell short and everyone ensured that the kids had an evening worth cherishing.
