Child-Friendly Recreation Supports Development, Indonesian Event Shows

Safe and child-friendly recreational spaces are crucial for children's development, supplementing education and health roles, according to Indonesian officials. To mark National Children's Day, various organizations hosted events encouraging family interaction, recreation, and learning.

CGV Cinemas Indonesia, in collaboration with Make-A-Wish Indonesia, organized the "CGV Cares for Children" program at CGV Grand Indonesia. The event brought together "wish children," alumni, volunteers, and guardians for activities like decorating "bungeoppang" (fish-shaped cakes) and donuts before watching a children's film in a 270-degree panoramic SCREENX auditorium.

Mark Nah, CEO of CGV Cinemas Indonesia, stated that cinemas can serve as spaces for children to interact and spend time with family. "Through CGV Cares for Children, we want to provide meaningful experiences for children. We hope CGV can continue to be a space for entertainment as well as beneficial learning for more Indonesian children," he said.

The film shown, "Moana," carried messages of courage, hope, and perseverance, encouraging children to believe in themselves and pursue their dreams. Julienne Sunarjo, Founder and CFO of Make-A-Wish Indonesia, emphasized that National Children's Day serves as a reminder that every child deserves a childhood filled with happiness and hope. "We are grateful to CGV Indonesia and all partners for bringing a day full of laughter, togetherness, and beautiful memories to the families of Make-A-Wish Indonesia," she added.
