Movenpick Hotel Sukhumvit 15 Bangkok joins 2018 'Kilo of Kindness’ global charity drive to help local communities in need

Movenpick Hotel Sukhumvit 15 Bangkok is helping local people in need as part of the 2018 'Kilo of Kindness' global charity campaign.

Launched by Moevenpick Hotels & Resorts in 2015, the highly-successful initiative, which honours the United Nations International Day of Charity on 5 September, calls on guests to donate at least one kilo of food, clothing and educational supplies to disadvantaged communities around the world, with a focus on underprivileged youngsters.

Movenpick Hotel Sukhumvit 15 Bangkok is one of 30+ hotels across Africa, Asia, Europe and the Middle East supporting the campaign, which runs from 1-15 September.

Guests and visitors are invited to drop off at least one kilo of supplies at the hotel lobby during that period, which will then be distributed to Suwantalai School in Suphanburi Province. Supplies can be dropped off in the hotel lobby or front of Lelawadee Restaurant from 1 September to 15 September 2018.

Last year, 8,500 kilos of supplies were donated by guests of participating hotels – a figure Moevenpick hopes to surpass with its 2018 campaign. While each guest is encouraged to donate at least one 'Kilo of Kindness', all contributions will be gratefully received.

High-priority items include books, notebooks and stationery such as pens, pencils, rulers and erasers; canned foods such as tuna, soup, fruit, vegetables and concentrated milk; dry foods like rice, beans, oats, pasta, cereals, flour, powdered milk, baby formula, tea and coffee; and clothing for adults and children.
