Young patients in the children’s ward at Prince of Wales Hospital had a very special visitor, with Christmas just around the corner.

They were alerted by the sound of a bell, followed by a jovial voice saying “Ho, ho, ho!” Santa had arrived.

Joining Santa was a group volunteers from Manulife, who paid a visit to the young patients and brightened their day with a string of fun activities.

The party kicked off with a magic show in which the children were invited to take part and got a chance to tap a wand for added effect. The ward quickly filled with cheer and laughter, and the excitement ended on a high note as everyone sang Christmas songs to mark the festive occasion.
