Easter typically means bunnies, eggs and kids. Not to mention, chocolates, candies and a whole lot of fun and games. At the Waterfront Insular Hotel Davao, Easter also means HOPE.
Last April 16 2017, Sunday — Renowned Waterfront Insular Hotel Davao celebrated a fun filled Easter Sunday with the kids of Kids of Hope from the House of Hope Foundation. Dubbed Easter Means Hope: A Rockin’ Easter Egg Hunt Party with the Kids of Hope, the event was held at the hotel’s Grand Agila Ballroom. The celebration featured a number of fun and exciting games, entertainment and a day of non-stop laughter for everyone in attendance.
Warming up the participants needed some commanding as a “Bring Me” game had everyone up on their feet. There were about 80 kids in attendance. Of which, just about everyone wanted a piece of the bagful of treats. Who wouldn’t, right?
It did not take long before the kids were in ‘game’ mode. Following “Bring Me” was their version of “The Easter Egg Puzzle”. Winners got to take home a Waterfront Powerbank and loot bags as consolation.
Shortly after their afternoon snacks, participants were escorted to the Garden Area (of the hotel) to hunt for eggs. A thousand eggs to be exact. Respective egg hunting areas for children ages two to six and seven to 12 were cordoned until the whistle was blown. Easter bunnies, hotel souvenirs, gift certificates and complimentary pool passes were given to those who collected the most number of eggs for each age category. Also to those who found the four special eggs hidden in both areas.
Ending the day was a rockin’ finale were a number of kids (below 10 years old) performed and provided entertainment for everyone in attendance. Collectively known as Lightheart Band, they were coached by choir extraordinaire, Peter Ian Buaya. Inspired by the 2003 film, School of Rock, they brought out their musical prowess in hopes of inspiring the other kids to embrace their musical inclinations.
A special award was given to 2-year old Aika who came in her cutest Easter costume.
