Srinagar: A strange truth of the world is that the sick and lonely feel more forlorn especially on festival days. However, a group of alpine rescue workers decided to add some spark in the lives of sick children in Italy on Christmas.
Dressing up as Santa Claus, they rappelled down the pediatric ward walls, much to the delight of kids and the hospital staff. The incident took place in Policlinico Umberto hospital in Italy.
The rescue workers used their skills to abseil from the hospital chimney and roof. They then went inside the hospital and gave gifts to children who are admitted in the hospital.
At the same time, in Slovenia, climbers who dressed as Santa Claus abseiled down Ljubljana children’s hospital and put out a great show that raised spirits all around.
Last week, in Peru’s capital Lima, Santa Claus took help from local firefighters to give presents to children who were being isolated in a hospital facility as they had been infected with COVID-19. Santa Claus used a railed platform that was alleviated to hospital windows from where he delivered the presents. As Santa delivered his gifts, the health workers were seen cheering him.
These extra steps taken by generous volunteers have certainly made Christmas better for children who are battling illness in this festive season.
