KUALA LUMPUR: ANSA Hotel Kuala Lumpur, with the collaboration of The Giving Bank, Starbucks Malaysia and Museum of Illusions, has recently hosted a special charity event for the disabled members of Dual Blessing Bhd as part of the hotel’s Corporate Social Value (CSV) programme.
ANSA Hotel Kuala Lumpur’s CSV programme which happened in the month of December was the first in-house charity event for the hotel and was championed by the hotel’s Sales and Marketing department.
Eleven persons with disabilities and wheelchair bound arrived at ANSA Hotel Kuala Lumpur with their five helpers. Associates from the hotel, The Giving Bank, Starbucks Malaysia and Museum of Illusions were on hand to assist and greet each member.
Speeches given by Mondi Mecja Head of Commercial for Berjaya Hotels & Resorts, Dr Janson Ang Founder of The Giving Bank and Antonija Strilic Consultant of Museum of Illusions kick started the Christmas Charity event.
To truly feel the Christmas festivities, ANSA associates and the sponsors accompanied Dual Blessing Bhd. to sing Christmas Carols on ANSA Walk for all the public to hear.
As one of the sponsors, Starbucks Malaysia generously provided lunch for everyone in a sectioned off area of their ANSA store. This was a great chance to connect with the disabled and discover more about how Dual Blessing Bhd. has had a positive impact on their lives.
The main activity of the event was kindly sponsored by Museum of Illusions, located on level 1 of ANSA Hotel Kuala Lumpur.
The disabled were thoroughly entertained with multiple activity stations which stimulate learning and are fun for all. Much time was spent in the museum before everyone returned to Starbucks Malaysia for the final event of the day.
The disabled did not go home empty-handed as they were also presented with goodie bags filled with gifts from each of the sponsors.
The gift giving ceremony was particularly poignant for the disabled because all the items on their wish list for the Dual Blessing Bhd. welfare centre had been fulfilled.
