We always do our best to help the community in which  we operate. We are glad to share Christmas with patient children as well as wishing them quick recovery so that they start New Year in good health conditions,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The gesture stood at Rwf1.5 million and gifts benefitted 90 children from different categories.<\/p>\n<p>Parents of the children hailed the gesture, saying that it comforted them and their children in their ill situation.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cWe are happy as people from poor families who are unable to buy toys for our children. My child is happy for the presents. We thank the hotel staff for the loving heart,\u201d said Niyonsaba Kayitesi.<\/p>\n<p>Evariste Bigirima, Director for maternity services at Masaka Hospital, appreciated Marriott\u2019s moral and material support to hospitalized children.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cThe joy is apparent on the faces of these children and their parents. They are really happy. Marriott staff spent time playing with the children and gave them gifts. It is really supportive,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The event followed the Hotel staff\u2019s children reception, a fortnight ago, in which the children shared Christmas ambiance with the hotel
