Republic Bank hosts Christmas Party for Children homes
As the season of love sharing and caring continues, Republic Bank, New Amsterdam Branch, hosted for the fourth consecutive year, a grand party that attracted orphans from all the orphanages in the New Amsterdam district. The beneficiaries were the Anjuman Home, Eden Home and Alpha Children Home.

The event was held recently at the New Amsterdam Town Hall and saw more than 130 children benefiting and receiving treats to hot meals and toys.
The Manager of Republic Bank, New Amsterdam Branch, Imran Saccoor, in a brief remark expressed the Bank’s pleasure in reaching out to the vulnerable and less fortunate children in our society.
He urged the children to think and to make positive decisions as they pass through this phase of their lives. He also urged delinquent families to take more responsibility in ensuring that their children are taken care of and not to be left on the streets wandering.
Saccoor also stated that “while it is good to see more and more children year after year coming to the party, it is a most worrying situation which either means more and more parents are either experiencing financial strains or are just abandoning their responsibilities and being delinquent.”
He hailed the works done by NGO and Orphanages.
The staff members of the Bank shared, sang, played games and danced with the children. Apart from the Christmas goodies grocery hampers were also donated to the three homes that were present.
