Typhoon Bopha/Pablo in the Philippines has devastated the lives of many. To help the victims, Holiday Inn - Dubai “Loves You Campaign” took an initiative by setting up a garage sale and raised AED 5,014.00

The sale had items ranging from clothes to household,  items donated by the associates as a gesture of benevolence to humanity.

The backdrop of this campaign, the Hadith (sayings) of Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) ‘Life isn’t worth living unless it’s lived for someone else’, has enabled to inculcate in our employees an ethos of giving and an awareness of the suffering of the less fortunate.

 

 

During the event , *HILUC Mascot was introduced and the audience ,who has proudly posed for a picture,  knowing that every picture taken will generate a donation to provide a school meal for a child in Philippines.  “ It takes only one dirham to provide a school meal to a Child in need”

The efforts were in support of World Food Programme to assist victims who are still struggling to rebuild their lives and send their children to school.

 

Roxana Jaffer our Resident Director said, “By the end of the night people didn’t just leave with the items they have bought but also with a satisfaction that for every 1 dirham they have spent they are helping out someone”.
