Sheraton raises funds

BANDUNG: The management of the Bandung Sheraton Hotel is
supporting the United Nations' Children's Fund (Unicef) effort to
combat common children's diseases by raising funds from its
guests.

"We are charging every guest US$1 when they check out," Sasa
Atmodirono, the Bandung Sheraton's public relations officer, told
The Jakarta Post.

Diseases which kill children include tuberculosis, tetanus,
polio, measles, diphtheria and whopping cough.

According to Sasa, the management of the Sheraton
International first launched this program at the On Park Hotel in
Sydney, Australia, and invited Roger Moore, famous for playing
James Bond, who is Unicef's Film and Art envoy, to launch the
program. (17/14)
