A Special Note to Parents

Dear Parents

We were informed by Santa that he would arrive in Srlanka only on the 13th evening and come direct to the event only with his hand luggage. He will not have time to buy gifts for the kids as such he wants all the parents to bring gifts for their kids to be distributed by him , while doing so he wants the gifts to be nicely packed and LABELED with the names of their kids .

We have arranged a designated person ( a special desk is arranged for this purpose) to collect the gifts on behalf of Santa , please hand over your gifts at this desk .

Thank you in anticipation of your support.

 Yours truly,

Balasingham Balajeyandhan
