To celebrate the beginning of the New Year on a caring note, The Westin Resort Nusa Dua, Bali’s Sales & Marketing Department took time recently to visit the Destawan Orphanage in Singaraja. The purpose of the visit was to distribute donated goods as part of the resort’s ‘Care to Community’ program,  a Starwood initiative that is all about giving back on a local level to those in need .

This non-profit facility was established in 2009 to care for orphaned, abandoned and impoverished children in North Bali. The centre currently accommodates 40 youngsters and takes full responsibility for their welfare and education.

Director of Sales, Ms. Sally Fadjrina, and her team were given a warm welcome to the orphanage by Chairman, Mr. Ketut Sutrisna. The visit included a full inspection of the facility as well as an interactive session of fun games with the children. The resort then presented boxes of donated goods containing basic necessities to supplement the daily needs of the orphanage. 

“It is always a rewarding experience that we can share a little bit joy with children less fortunate under our Care to Community program. Nothing compares to seeing a small face light up with pleasure upon receiving an inexpensive gift such as a notebook for school or a new toothbrush. We are looking forward to supporting the children of the Destawan Orphanage in many unique way over the coming year,” commented Mr. Bipan Kapur, General Manager of The Westin Resort Nusa Dua, Bali.

The Westin Resort Nusa Dua, Bali enjoys a prime beachfront location in the exclusive Nusa Dua enclave on Bali’s southern tip with 334 cosy rooms complete with the re-known Heavenly® bed; a place where you can be at your best and experience total renewal.
