Grand Millennium Kuala Lumpur brought smiles and joy to about 45 underprivileged children from Rumah Victory Children Home and Diamond Children Home to celebrate the upcoming Christmas holiday.
The children were treated to a grand High Tea feast in an afternoon of food, fun and games. They got right into the Christmas spirit by building snowmen out of recycled materials like shredded paper, recycled water bottles and other items provided by the hotel.
The kids were truly spoiled for choice, with everything from fish and chips to pizza and a variety of sweet treats on the menu.
The children from the two homes also had the opportunity to receive firsthand training from the hotel’s chefs in decorating Christmas gingerbread cookies, which ranged from princesses to Christmas trees.
The recently appointed General Manager, Mr. Peter Gibbons was well involved in judging the kids’ creative decorations and said, “It’s a joy to spend time with such an inventive and imaginative bunch! Christmas is a time for giving and spreading joy. Therefore, we are resolute in providing unique experiences for all and that is why Grand Millennium Kuala Lumpur will always remain dedicated to our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) efforts. It is essential for us to strive to be better and to bring about a resourceful and enterprising new generation”.
The session also saw members of the staff from all departments having a ball with the children as some dressed as Santa and Santarina to hand out candies and gifts. They concluded their activities with a well-rehearsed performance of Christmas carols in English, Mandarin and Tamil.
In a mission to promote community enrichment
This Christmas High Tea event is just one among the many of Grand Millennium Kuala Lumpur’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives. The hotel has also planned for two other upcoming initiatives in keeping with its’ efforts to connect with the community.
It includes a Chinese New Year visit to Rumah Victory for the Elderly and Persatuan Kebajikan & Social Kim Loo Ting KL in January and a visit to children in hospitals during the holy month of Ramadan.
In addition, the hotel has an on-going programme to hire more People with Disability (PWD), focusing on their abilities rather than their disabilities. The hotel has consistently provided sufficient training to ensure employees with disabilities can expand their skills and reach their full potential with the hotel.
This mission is in line with Grand Millennium Kuala Lumpur to promote community enrichment through mutual respect and understanding.
