To mark the beginning of the Christmas season, an eco-friendly Star Making Competition was organized for SH staff at the hospital auditorium on December 1, 2025. The event set a meaningful tone for the festive celebrations by combining creativity with environmental responsibility.

The competition encouraged participants to embrace sustainable practices by using nature-friendly materials such as bamboo, paper, jute, cloth, and cotton. By opting for biodegradable and reusable items, the staff demonstrated how festive celebrations can be joyful while remaining mindful of the environment.

The auditorium was filled with festive cheer as staff members enthusiastically collaborated, exchanged ideas, and transformed simple natural materials into beautifully handcrafted Christmas stars. Each creation reflected not only artistic talent, but also teamwork, innovation, and a shared commitment to sustainability.

The completed stars are now displayed across various areas of the hospital, adding a warm, rustic charm to the holiday décor. Beyond their visual appeal, these handcrafted decorations serve as a gentle reminder of the importance of eco-conscious living and responsible celebrations.

The initiative successfully blended creativity, community spirit, and environmental awareness, making it a memorable start to the Christmas festivities.
