Saturday's Celebration on Child Happiness

Celebrating SCOCH’s birthday, Hagar Fakhry, the SSS LOCH, takes over what Mo’taz and Hakim have started last year by celebrating Child’s Day in the SCOCH way by organising a party for youngsters less than 14 years.
If you’re an SSS member, or even not a member, don’t miss the chance, and of course you’re welcome to invite whoever interested.
All you have to do is to bring your younger brothers, sisters, cousins, nephews, or even neighbours’ daughter to the SSS lounge on Saturday 13th Mar. 09, and we guarantee that they’ll have loads of fun, gain new skills, make friendships, colour, sing, eat, and release their energy to the maximum.
If you’re able to bring any hot dishes with you, that will be more than welcome, especially that we need to feed all these young generation and their relatives.
Don’t miss the fun! All you have to do is to bring your youngster in one hand, and a food dish in the other hand, as Hakim says.
See you next Saturday!
