“The laughter and smiles of the children were a true testament to the success of the event. We are incredibly grateful to the volunteers who made this day possible.
“Additionally, we were thrilled to welcome children of all nationalities, including local British families.
“One of the British participants, Reuben Tring, together with his sister Isabella and brother Grayson, created a wonderful gingerbread house and a special project for your newspaper that beautifully captured their impressions of this event.
“Moments like these emphasise the sense of community and cultural exchange we aim to foster.”
