Eight employees of Le Royal Meridien Abu Dhabi were given US $ 40,000 by Starwood Associate Relief Fund, Inc. (SARF) to rebuild the homes they lost in the recent earthquake.
The employees who received the grant are from stewarding, housekeeping and the kitchen and all of them lost their houses completely and some are still coping with grief and loss of their loved ones.
SARF is a fund established by Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide to provide need-based financial grants to its associates and the employees of its managed and franchised hotel operations who have suffered significantly as a result of a natural disaster or other emergency hardship situation.
“These hard working colleagues do their best in putting a smile in the face of our guests. We have over 50 Nationalities working in harmony here and we are privileged to be able to support their families in time of need,” said Max Wiegerinck, GM, Le Royal Meridien Abu Dhabi.
Each employee was presented with a cheque for $5,000 from the general manager.
