Later in the day, the airline team distributed attractive gifts as Christmas songs were played in the background.The children took a special fancy to the toy planes that took to the skies as their attached balloons were filled with air.Mr Wahid said: "We are pleased to spend time with these lovely children and believe that our gesture not only puts a smile on each face but also brings joy to their hearts. Aside from sharing gifts, it is important for everyone to feel loved at all times and especially so at this time of the year.”The airline also presented the Children"s ward with bed linen and toiletries among other things.The goodies were received by Marian Tetteh-Korboe, Chief Superintendent of the Children’s ward, Police Hospital. She thanked the Emirates workforce for their kind gesture. In her words: “Our patients have to spend Christmas here while their siblings and friends get to spend Christmas at home and in good health.
