JAKARTA (JP): International hotel chain Sheraton Hotels &
Resorts announced on Thursday that its two properties in Bali,
the Sheraton Laguna Nusa Dua and the Sheraton Nusa Indah Resorts,
had raised about US$50,000 in donations for Unicef since 1996.
Sheraton said it had joined Unicef's "Check Out for Children"
program since 1996 by encouraging its guests to give donations of
$1 when settling their hotel bills.
Sheraton properties and their guests worldwide have so far
donated approximately $3 million to the program.
The money has been used by Unicef for immunization, which has
saved the lives of more than 20 million children in developing
countries. (gis)
