Charity campaign, Goods for Good, launched

MUSCAT: Launched on December 1 in partnership with the Red Crescent Society and Dar al Atta’a, six Shangri-La hotels and resorts across the Middle East have joined forces to support ‘Goods for Good,’ a charity campaign for children in need. Guests can share love and support for children in need by donating books, toys and educational games throughout December

Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah Resort & Spa, and Shangri-La Al Husn Resort & Spa, Muscat is collaborating with non-profit charity Dar al Atta’a, which endeavours to provide the less privileged of society with basic needs to ensure a decent standard of living.

Research by the Institute for Early Education suggests that toys play a vital role in the development of children; without them, necessary skills may not develop.

Toys can enhance a child’s development by promoting socialisation, creativity, emotional security, motor skills and learning and by providing opportunities for inquisitive exploration of the world. These are important milestones for the healthy progress of children not only emotionally, but also intellectually and physically.

This campaign is in line with Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts’ quest to deliver hospitality from the heart to guests every day while also treating surrounding communities with the same hospitality. Each hotel’s Embrace initiative works to improve children’s opportunities in its community with hands-on support. A specially designed donation box has been placed in Al Waha, where guests can drop off items. To wrap up the campaign, each hotel will have a weigh-in on December 30.
