In celebration of Hilton Worldwide’s annual Global Month of Service, throughout October, more than 40 volunteers from DoubleTree by Hilton Jakarta – Diponegoro have dedicated their time to serve the community through done five activities focused on young people, women and sustainability/environment. Community service is a tradition embedded in the company for nearly 100 years, and throughout the year Team Members dedicate their time, passion and unique brand of hospitality to create positive change in their local communities. DoubleTree by Hilton Jakarta – Diponegoro’s efforts are a part of Hilton’s month-long celebration of the company’s year-round commitment to serving and enriching the communities where we live, work and travel.
“DT CARE is the heart of this hotel and we are proud of this culture. We are committing to serve the local community with various focus area and programs. In this special month, we are contributing extra miles in Global Month of Service (GMS) through successfully held number of programs aligned with the GMS project such as Young, Women and Sustainability. As part of our culture, DT CARE program will consistently plan and execute every month,”said Markus Kaliss, General Manager at DoubleTree by Hilton Jakarta – Diponegoro.
The first activity was served by Anyo Indonesia Foundation in the form of cooking class with the hotel’s chef. But not just delivering and giving the tips of delicious and healthy food for the super moms who always accompanies their children doing the check up, but Double Tree also shared happiness by entertaining the children.
Aimed to keep sustainability and teaching kids to care with the environment, Double Tree also engaged with Sealed Air to recycle 40 kilos used bar soap from the hotel at this school for disabled children in Zinnia Foundation. In the future, this soap for hope is expected to continue so the school and can produce the recycled soap by themselves as well as deliver to the surrounding slum area.
Aside from activities outside the hotel, Double Tree also engaged with two organizations the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) for the preparation of Marine Stewardship Council certifications for tuna fishery products from Indonesia and the Indonesia Society of Respirology for the “Healthy Lung” symposium and lung function tests, to socialize the lung health to the local community especially for those active and passive smokers.
