Hilton made it a point to bring gifts for all the children in the orphanage. She was welcomed with a traditional arti and treated to delightful performances by the children.
“I am so happy to be here and meet you all. It is holiday time and Christmas is coming. I hoped you liked the presents,” Hilton said at the event. “I admire the work that is being done here. It makes me so happy,” she added.
When the children shook a leg to popular Bollywood dance number “Chammak Challo” from the movie RA.One, Hilton too joined them for the fun.
Her prime motive for this trip was her performance at the recently concluded India Resort Fashion Week in Goa. Since she had a stop-over in Mumbai, a visit to Ashray was doable.
“Paris wanted to visit an orphanage while she was in Mumbai. She got in touch with someone in Bandra, who happened to know our trustee, and that is why she chose our organisation,” said Cherie Pereira, the senior project officer of CCDT.
CCDT houses a total of 108 children in its various centres in and around Mumbai, and its Bandra branch Ashray has 30 children.
