La Beach Hotel celebrates Christmas with Street Academy children

Hundreds of street children received a special treat during the Christmas festivities as a result of a collaboration between the management of the La Beach Hotel and the Street Academy in Accra.

It was part of the Hotel’s current arrangement to provide lunch for the children of the Academy every Friday.

Courtesy that partnership, management of the La Beach Hotel feted hundreds of street children housed by the Street Academy, creating a partying moment for the children.

According to officials of the Hotel, the gesture was to let the children feel part of the festivities and not left out.

The children enjoyed delicious meals and snack after which they danced as they enjoyed the moment.

According to the Hotel officials, “the season represents one that every parent gathers their children and shower them with gifts and others to make them happy but sadly, these unfortunate children are left on their own, having no one to care for them.”

“This is an event we intend to make an annual one. Through this, we hope to put some smiles on their faces. It is not proper to leave them on their own.”

The Executive Director of the Academy, Ataa Lartey, expressed gratitude to the management of the hotel, saying that, “this has gone a long way to excite the children and make them feel part of the celebration.”

He said due to the number of children that join around this time of the year, it becomes difficult for the Academy alone to shoulder this responsibility.

“It is not easy to organise such activities alone because it draws a lot of children, that is, those in the Academy and their friends that follow them but with such cooperate supports, we are able to bring them together to share in moments like this,” he told The Spectator.
