Hospitality with a
HEART
HOUSE OF HOPE in Davao City has been home to children with cancer since 2004 and, over the years, has been a beneficiary of many charitable efforts by the Davao Children’s Cancer Fund, Inc. in partnership with Waterfront Insular Hotel Davao. To take part in its corporate social responsibility amongst the hospitality industry, the hotel intends to continually provide meaningful contributions in the communities where the company operates. During this month’s Hermes Club meeting dated last May 06, Hotel Manager Bryan Lasala gave over a total of P60, 200 worth of cheque donation to Program Director-Pediatric Oncologist Dr. Mae Dolendo and one of DCCFI’s officers Ms. Arleen Aportadera. Besides a P20, 000 donation, proceeds amounting to P40, 200 were from its most recent Room for A Cause initiative. This covered a two-month period from December 01, 2015 to January 31, 2016, which initiated that for every room booked per night, an amount of P200 will be given to the Kids of Hope, the children who stay at HoH. One of HoH’s ongoing local projects include the “Piso Mo, Chemo Ko” project, in which 100% of the proceeds will go to the kids’ diagnostics and continuing treatment. Launched last April 26 at the Abreeza Mall, coin banks were given to WIHD among other local partners. The said coin banks have since
been placed at the front desk lobby and four other counters in the property. A guest’s peso a day could go a long way for the treatment of childhood cancer. The concept of a transient home for children with cancer has inspired many – patients, families,
and communities alike. This sanctuary brings hope and a healing environment for cancerafflicted children in Mindanao. For inquiries and donations, they may be reached at (082) 305 9390 or thru email@kidsofhope.org.
