To commemorate #GivingTuesday Hyatt Place Hampi (of the Hyatt Hotels Corporation) awarded The Akshaya Patra Foundation with a generous $15,000 USD grant to help Akshaya Patra move closer to fulfilling its vision that ‘no child in India shall be deprived of education because of hunger,’ and its mission of feeding 5 million children by 2020.
The grant was awarded to Akshaya Patra through the Hyatt Community Grants, a charitable undertaking of Hyatt Thrive, the company’s global corporate responsibility programme. The Hyatt Community Grants provides a platform for Hyatt employees to play an active role in philanthropy and contributing to improving the world around them. In fact, through Hyatt Thrive along with the assistance of 95,000 Hyatt employees across over 570 properties worldwide, Hyatt Hotels Corporation is focused on having a positive impact on the world.
The grant was presented to Akshaya Patra representatives – Sooraj Ravindran (Manager, Corporate Partnerships) and Chetan D (Manager-Operations, Bellary) – at the Hyatt Place Hampi by Sameeth Guha, General Manager; Debasish Shah, Executive Chef and Kanika Mehra, HR Manager of the hotel.
#GivingTuesday is a special day dedicated towards donating generously to those in need. For those of you who missed out on this day, you can contribute to Akshaya Patra online by making a donation in memory of someone. Choosing to donate in memory of someone allows you to honour the memory of a loved one who passed away, and keep their legacy alive.
