KOTA KINABALU: A hotel here launched a donation drive for its guests to contribute presents to be distributed to the needy this Christmas.
Dubbed “Operations Santa Jingle Belly”, the campaign sees Promenade hotel
Kota Kinabalu setting up a corner for guests to drop their gifts at its lobby where a big Santa Claus is placed until Jan 8.
Hotel general manager Hafizan Wong said
the hotel would channel the donations to two shelter homes.
They are Bukit Harapan in Tuaran and
Rumah Bakti Harapan in Inanam. Residents at both homes are either mentally or
physically challenged, homeless, orphans or single parents.
“We hope that this Charity drive makes a difference for both homes especially during these
festive seasons.
“Sometimes, it is the little things that
occupy the biggest part of their hearts.
“This is also a way for the hotel to
contribute back to society as we continue to carry out corporate social
responsibility with the support from our team,” he added.
The launch was followed by Christmas
carolling by some 20 residents of Bukit Harapan Tuaran, bringing everyone into
the festive mood prior to a hosted Christmas Thanksgiving Buffet Dinner with
the media.
Residents were feted with the
hotel’s signature Christmas dishes including mini snowman and Christmas
Chocolate Buns, butter cream Alaskan king crab with bay leaves, roast whole
turkey with crudites among others.
