The Charterhouse Causeway Bay raises donation for World Vision Hong Kong to support survivors from Philippines Typhoon Relief Operation

Super-typhoon Haiyan, reported by media as possibly the strongest tropical cyclone in recorded history, struck Central Philippines on 8 November 2013, resulting in massive destruction and casualties. Death toll has exceeded 2,000 and the UN estimates that some 11.5 million people have been affected with 1.7 million being children. Responding to the community need, The Charterhouse Causeway Bay hosted a donation activity and has raised an amount of HK$5,470 for the World Vision Hong Kong supporting its Philippines Typhoon Relief operation.

Mr. Bernard Rodrigues, General Manager of The Charterhouse Causeway Bay presented a cheque to World Vision Hong Kong, Ms Rilly Law, Corporate Relations Officer to help typhoon victims to rebuild their lives on 27 March 14.  Mr Rodrigues said: “The total amount of money we collected will be donated to the World Vision Hong Kong which is doing vital work to help the people of Philippines to get back on their feet.  As striving back to the community has always been our key mission, besides taking action for the critical affairs, we also run a meaningful long term program “Child Care Donation” with World Vision in the past two years, and more than HK$40,000 has been donated by hotel guests to support World Vision that help underprivileged children in more than 100 developing countries around the world.” 

The Charterhouse Causeway Bay is committed to building a harmonious community through actively involving in various social activities such as the regular donation to World Vision, UNICEF and many more.  We have also set up our corporate team to enhance our social participation through organizing and participating in a number of activities such as visiting the elderly and assisting the socially deprived people. 

銅鑼灣利景酒店捐贈善款予  香港宣明會支持菲律賓風災救援工作


被形容為有史以來最強熱帶氣旋的超級颱風「海燕」，於2013年11月8日重創菲律賓，造成巨大破壞及人命傷亡。直至目前為止，風災造成超過2,000人死亡，聯合國估計，高達1,150萬人受災，其中包括170萬名兒童。香港宣明會繼續在當地展開大型的救援行動，協助受影響災民。有見及此，銅鑼灣利景酒店早前舉辦菲律賓風災救援籌款活動，支持香港宣明會於當地的救援工作，並成功捐出HK5,470善款予該會。

銅鑼灣利景酒店總經理侯忠利先生於3月27日遞交一張價值HK$5,470的支票予香港宣明會企業關係主任羅稚潞女仕，以助菲律賓災民重建家園。侯忠利先生表示：「是次活動所籌得的善款將全數捐贈予香港宣明會，以幫助災民解決燃眉之急及協助未來重建工作。作為一個關懷社區的機構，除了因應​​不同地區的需要而舉辦慈善活動外，我們早於兩年前已成為香港宣明會成的長期合作夥伴，並一直支持“Child Care Donation” 活動並籌得逾四萬港元，幫助全球超過100個發展中國家的兒童。」

履行企業社會責任，一直是銅鑼灣利景酒店對於社會大眾的一項重要承諾。多年來，我們積極致力於實踐企業社會責任，例如捐助支持香港世界宣明會丶聯合國兒童基金會及其他慈善機構等。我們更特別組成了義工隊，積力參與不同慈善活動如探訪老人院等，希望藉著我們的力量，幫助社會上有需要的人。
