Korando Birthday Party

Most of us, if not everyone, celebrates their birthday every year. Something that seems normal to us, is quite foreign and special to the children at Korando. Many kids don’t even know their birthday. And even the ones who know, have never had a chance to celebrate it. At least not until the Korando Birthday Party came along 🙂

It’s been a yearly tradition and on 29. July 2023 it was once more time to celebrate!

The team and volunteers organized a full day of fun activities, games, workshops, dances, food and of course, cake!

The day was a great success and we thank our donors who made this possible!

At the end, everyone was full of joy and totally soaked with water 🙂
