reasons for this fun-filled event is because some of these kids may not have
the privilege to go to such places to celebrate children’s day as some of their
parents may not have the time or resources to do, so the brand is filling the
gap and providing such ambience for the kids to have fun.”

of the celebration days with over a thousand schools across the country. In
spite of the monetary cost, the joy on the faces of the hosted children as they
bond with each other is what is paramount to Indomie. A platform to bring kid
together is what Indomie brand loves to do.”
