M?venpick Hotel Colombo joins 2018 ?Kilo of Kindness? global charity
31 Aug, 2018
M?venpick Hotel Colombo is helping local people in need as part of the 2018 ?Kilo of Kindness? global charity campaign.
Launched by M?venpick Hotels & Resorts in 2015, the highly-successful initiative, which honours the United Nations International Day of Charity on 5 September, calls on guests to donate at least one kilo of food, clothing and educational supplies to disadvantaged communities around the world, with a focus on underprivileged youngsters.
M?venpick Hotel Colombo is one of 30+ hotels across Africa, Asia, Europe and the Middle East supporting the campaign, which runs from 1-15 September.
Guests and visitors are invited to drop off at least one kilo of supplies at the hotel lobby during that period, which will then be distributed to a selected number of under priviledged families in the Galenbindunuwewa village- a rural village in the Anuradhapura district.
Last year, 8,50 kilos of supplies were donated by guests of participating hotels ? a figure M?venpick hopes to surpass with its 2018 campaign. While each guest is encouraged to donate at least one ?Kilo of Kindness?, all contributions will be gratefully received.
High-priority items include books, notebooks and stationery such as pens, pencils, rulers and erasers; canned foods such as tuna, soup, fruit, vegetables and concentrated milk; dry foods like rice, beans, oats, pasta, cereals, flour, powdered milk, baby formula, tea and coffee; and clothing for adults and children.
