Christmas carols and festive cheer in Melville at Hotel Hope
The Salvation Army played beautifully while visitors and guests sang along enthusiastically to start the festive season.
Hotel Hope in Melville which looks after abandoned and orphaned babies and children held its annual Christmas carol event with music performed by the Salvation Army.
Held at their high-end retail furniture and lifestyle fundraising store, Hotel Hope Interiors, the well-attended gathering brought some festive cheer to all who attended, both young and old.
Founder Oliver Quambusch said, “Christmas is such a magical time and the singing of carols is essential to the spirit of the season. It is also a lovely way for us to connect with friends and the community as we all enjoy being together and having fun.”
He said it was vitally important to give back to the community that has been supporting the home’s important work for years, thus enabling them to give vulnerable children a second chance with a new family through their adoption programme and other interventions.
“Without our friends, many of whom have become family, our work would not have the reach that it does and this occasion is one way we try to say thank you and create a pocket of joy in our busy lives.”
Song sheets were provided so everyone could sing along when not munching on the delicious mince pies and sipping on the gluhwein which was on offer.
