HYATT COMMUNITY GRANT TO
BAAN WANG PLA SCHOOL
ANANTASILA GETS 4 STAR RATING
Mr. Bruce Khalili General Manager of Anantasila Hotel and
Resort in Hua Hin received a 4 star rating award from Mrs. Kobkarn
Wathanavrangkul the Minister of Tourism and Sports. The event was
held in Siam Paragon, Bangkok on Wednesday 26th November.
As a part of Hyatt Community Grants, a
philanthropic program that empowers Hyatt
colleagues to guide charitable giving, Hyatt
Regency Hua Hin & THE BARAI announced
today that it has awarded Baan Wang Pla School
with a grant to further the organization’s efforts in
developing educational standards for the students
in order that they can receive the same level of
learning opportunity as other more privileged
school.
The Hyatt Community Grants program, which
is now in its seventh year, encourages hotels
around the world to identify and nominate
local nonprofits for funding consideration. The
program builds on Hyatt’s belief that no one
better understands a community’s most pressing
issues – and their solutions – than those that live
and work there.
All participating nonprofits must have a
significant local presence and must support one
of Hyatt’s four focus areas – Environmental
Sustainability, Education & Personal
Advancement, Economic Development &
Investment, or Health & Wellness.
“We are honored to support Baan Wang Pla
School and their valuable contributions to our
community,” said Mr. Sammy Carolus, general
manager, Hyatt Regency Hua Hin & THE
BARAI. “It is so important for us to be active
participants in our area, and this program gives
us the great opportunity to give back to the local
organizations that do so much for our city. Hyatt
regency Hua Hin & THE BARAI started the
relationship with Baan Wang School since the
hotel 10th anniversary in 2011. From then on we
provide constant support by arranging monthly
activities and helping to raise funds for the school
development through a project called the Bags of
Care project. Students were invited to stay in the
hotel and join activities with guests and associates
on several occasions e.g. Christmas Lighting
ceremony and annual golf tournament Hyatt.
