Melia observes 'solidarity' month

Sat, 02 Oct 2004

YOGYAKARTA: Some 200 employees of Melia Purosani Hotel and its general manager, Morten B. Anderson, took part on Thursday in a community service event on Jl. Malioboro.

The hotel's public relations manager Atik Damarjati said the event was actually parts of the Sol Melia Hotels and Resorts' worldwide community involvement program -- September Solidarity Month -- which is held in cooperation with UNICEF and the DHL carrier company.

Through the program, she said -- and together with 13 Sol Melia offices around the world -- over 220 hotels under the management of Sol Melia collected donations by asking the hotels' guests and business partners for a US$1 donation, to help fund the elementary schooling of children of developing countries.

"Each of the hotels is also required to hold community events, such the one on Jl. Malioboro," Atik said. --JP
