In 2014, the hotel’s management made the decision to adopt the home which accommodates approximately 20 children between the ages of two to 17 years. It also provides 24-hour care to vulnerable children selected by the Social Protection Ministry.
According to General Manager of the Guyana Marriott Hotel, Eduardo Reple, hosting the event deepens the special bond between the hotel and the home and it is one that will continue.
Reple noted that though the hotel has provided assistance throughout the year as it relates to renovation and other upgrades, he hopes to further extend open arms to the children of the home.
A report from the Department of Public Information said the General Manager thanked the hotel’s staff for assisting in making the event a truly memorable one for the children.
Students of the Bishops’ High School choir also made quite an impact with their medley of Christmas songs which garnered much attention from other curious onlookers, beside their special invitees.
