Children’s Day 2022 at Eden Hotel and Resorts came with a bang, as we hosted around 400 students from more than 10 schools in Otta and its environ.

A day that promises so much started slowly with preparations by our staff to make the event a successful one. Swiftly, like a Peregrine Falcon, the aura around the hall used for the event was filled with an electrifying buzz, such that is novel to our young guests.

The event which was meant to be educative and entertaining lived to its expectations as activities for the day were tailored to be enlightening and fun-filled.

Series of educative programmes were done, such as a walk down the history of democracy in Nigeria, quiz, debates, and spelling bee competitions among schools.

At intervals between these educative programmes, we also find it necessary to add excitement to the mix. As such, students were allowed to dance individually, dance as a group, pool tour, visit our mini zoo, see movies at our cinema, as well as taken around our hotel premises.

A day like this would not be too memorable for our young and teenage guests without a mix of ‘ITEM 7’; something we are known to be the best for in this city. Of course, they were given a nice treat, with snacks, popcorn and drinks.

Also, winners of each category of our interschool and individual competitions were rewarded with awesome gifts. One thing we also did not fail to do this, as it is our tradition is to give a gift to all students. Yes, we honoured our tradition and ensure a gift pack is given to all children that were present for the occasion.

We were able to speak with some of them during and after the event, majority couldn’t contain their excitement and happiness. The few that showed mixed feelings were basically due to them being unable to watch movies for long at the cinemas.

Overall, our young guests were full of energy, excitement, and cheerfulness.

A day like May 27th, 2022 is memorable to us, as we celebrate our young guests, honoured them, and encouraged them on what the future holds for them. To us, it was a great and notable day; and for them, we believe it was nothing short of memorable and impressive.
