A Heartwarming Holiday Tale: Lost Before Christmas

In a magical celebration of talent and holiday cheer, our recent Christmas program, featuring the enchanting play “Lost Before Christmas” by our talented K2 kids, left a lasting impression on all who attended.

The play, a creative spin on the classic Christmas story, followed Mary and Joseph’s unexpected journey to Bethlehem, interwoven with delightful characters and adventures, breathing new life into the beloved tale.

The captivating narration transported us to Bethlehem, where infants, donned in town-inspired attire, danced gracefully with their parents to “O Little Town of Bethlehem.” Angelic toddlers, dressed in celestial outfits, portrayed Mary and Joseph’s journey, dancing joyfully to the melody of “Breath of Heaven.”

Guided by the lovable Olaf and Kristoff, N1-A dancers in prince and princess attire mesmerized the audience with their magical performance to “Do You Wanna Build a Snowman?”

Continuing the adventure, the N1-B & D performers, dressed as Grinches, danced to the heartwarming “Welcome Christmas,” spreading the true meaning of the season joy, love, and togetherness.

Discovering the welcoming town of Klaus, N1-C performers, dressed as Santas, added to the festive cheer with a lively dance to “Jolly Old Nicholas.”

Facing the frosty world of Jack Frost, Mary and Joseph overcame challenges with the N2-A dancers gracefully moving to the festive melody of “Let It Snow.”

The climax saw Mary giving birth to Christ in the stable, accompanied by angels dancing to “Hark the Herald Angels Sing.”

In the final scenes, K1 performers, inspired by the Wise Men, danced to “We Three Kings.” The grand finale united everyone in singing “Joy to the World.”

This spectacular event created cherished memories for families, thanks to the exceptional performances of our young talents, including Victoria as Mary and Nicholas as Joseph. Special thanks to parents and teachers for their unwavering support in making this memorable program possible.

Nafas To Install Clean Air Zones in 7 iSmile Pre-School Campuses in Indonesia

As pollution in Jakarta and many other Indonesian cities continues to get worse, Nafas has been appointed as the air quality partner for iSmile Family of Schools in Indonesia and is tasked with bringing healthy air quality to 7 campuses in Permata Hijau, Menteng, Kelapa Gading, Pantai Indah Kapuk, P. Antasari (for Alam Atelier & BazGym) and Bandung. As part of the partnership, Nafas will be providing healthy air quality management, analytics & reporting as well as leading educational programs for parents across iSmile, iShine, Alam Atelier and BazGym  to continue to raise awareness about air pollution and public health.

Over 800 students attend iSmile Family of Schools, one of the top pre-schools in Jakarta, Bandung and Bali. The dedication of iSmile administration to providing the optimal learning environment for its students extends to ensuring that healthy indoor air quality levels are always maintained. 

For their schools that already have a Clean Air Zone, Nafas successfully reduced indoor air pollution by over 80% in classrooms at the Kelapa Gading campus in April 2024.  Unhealthy indoor air quality in schools provides a sub-optimal learning environment for children and long term exposure to PM2.5 reduces concentration, focus and can impair cognitive development. Nafas even published an article about this – The Smog Effect: How Air Quality Could Be Affecting Test Scores.

Clean Air Zones by Nafas are a subscription based B2B service which provides companies with air quality diagnostics, healthy air management, data analytics and real-time reporting of indoor pollution levels. The end to end service is the first of its kind in Indonesia, and already serves over 100 clients in offices, schools, small businesses and residential locations.
