A Kilo of Kindness

The United Nations International Day of Charity is just right around the corner. September 5, to be exact. In line with this event, Movenpick Hotel Mactan Cebu is inviting everyone to make a charity donation to support education.

“A Kilo of Kindness” is a campaign by Movenpick Hotels and Resorts that involves 16 hotels in the Middle East and Asia. Guests and even residents of the vicinity can donate at least a kilogram of learning supplies. Those who donate will, ofcourse, a token of appreciation from Movenpick. You get to receive a scoop of the most delicious ice cream in town which is exclusively available at Movenpick. By the way, make sure the learning supplies you donate consists of books or school supplies.

Last year, Movenpick was able to collect a total of 1,285 kilograms of charitable supplies. The upscale hospitality company hopes to top that figure this year! The items donated will be distributed by selected charity organizations or schools in their respective communities. Movenpick Hotel Mactan Island Cebu is supporting the Cordova Alternative Resource for Education (CARE) Center. You can help out by handing over your donations to a hotel staff at The Forum, from the 21st of August until the 1st of September 2016.

We are lucky enough to have access to the internet, to have been to school with excess supplies, to have been bought brand new supplies every single school year, and to have had little to no problem at having proper education. A kilogram of learning supplies may not sound much to us but it means a world of difference to the children who will benefit from this. So, lets donate learning supplies, a kilo at a time. Hey, you can even make it more than 1 kilo at a time. =)

Party Crew

A few months ago, we were lucky enough to have been invited to party with H&M at Movenpick in Mactan. It’s always a good time there whether you’re having dinner, chilling by the beach, or partying the night out! Awesome place and awesome friends! It was good vibes all the way.

I also got to meet new friends. Okay, they probably won’t remember me but we all had an amazing time. Haha Most of the time we are at an event with a mission but this time it felt strange in the first few minutes because we didn’t know why we were actually there. Then, we realized that they seriously just want us to have fun! Haha and so we did! Haha

I also got to catch up with my busy friends. This was actually very sudden. We weren’t sure if we were going there because we all had events and activities that day. However, we made it there last minute! Haha

So this is what I wore! I seriously wasn’t intending to go to the beach that day. It just so happened that I have decided to wear something that looks like summer but I’m taking a stroll in the mall! Haha I had to be at a bazaar that day and it was summer themed. That’s why I resorted to this look. Plus! I had to wear something comfortable because it’s scorching hot!
