Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts has launched the latest initiative of its ‘Kilo of Kindness’ drive, to mark the United Nations International Day of Charity on September 5.
In the upcoming campaign, the hospitality company is supporting education as a charitable initiative, and wants disadvantaged children to be equipped with the right tools for learning.
For Mövenpick’s ‘A Kilo of Kindness for a treat of ice cream’ campaign, guests and residents can visit 16 participating hotels to give away at least a kilo of learning supplies to organisations that will distribute these in their respective communities.
Each person who makes a donation will get an ice cream as a small gesture of appreciation.
Supplies can be dropped off from August 21 to September 1, 2016. The participating properties are located in Jordan, Lebanon, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Thailand and the Philippines.
