Bhopal children dress as Santa to spread environment awareness

BHOPAL - Prior to Christmas celebrations, children dressed as Santa Claus to spread a message of protecting the environment at a colourful function in Bhopal.

A ‘Pretty Santa Fashion Show’ was organised on the occasion.

The theme of the show was five elements of life namely air, water, earth, fire, and space, referred as Panchabhuta in scriptures.

The hour-long show saw kids dressed as Santa in different colours, walking down the ramp with enthusiasm and appealing to save the environment.

Shashi Keswani, Principal of the Pretty Petals School, said it is important to make the children aware about burning environment issues like global warming so that they grow up to be responsible and environment conscious adults.

“We have this concept of five elements. With Santa Clause we want to give out a message to the society to create awareness about these issues,” said Keswani.

Nishtha, a student, said performing at this function was a thrilling experience.

“Today, I had a lot of fun. We cut cake. I participated and danced,” said Nishtha. By Ram Chandra Sahu (ANI)
