Each child attending the Ufaa Festival will receive a gift, with popular characters such as Transformers and other mascots also taking part in the gift distribution. The organisers say these characters are included to enhance the celebratory spirit and engagement among children.
Later in the evening, a special outdoor movie screening dedicated to children and families will take place at Hulhumalé Phase 2 Park at 8pm. The film night is being arranged in collaboration with Ooredoo Maldives and the Ministry as part of the National Children’s Day celebrations.
