The first visit on December 22nd, 2010 was to Reayat Al Yateem orphanage, and the second visit on January 6th, 2011 was to Mar Mansour orphanage, where Santa presented all 59 boys and girls aged between 3 and 12 with cookies, cakes, candy, fruit, gifts and donations. Associates from all departments in Le Meridien Amman, under the direction of General Manager; Giuseppe Ressa, accompanied Santa to shed a ray of joy in the homes during the festive season.
Ressa commented on this initiative by saying: "As discovery is one of the core values of Le Meridien Hotels, the goal behind our visit to the orphanages was to offer both children and associates a new perspective on matters, in a sense where the children realize the love and care of the community, and associates realize the importance of their role in giving and offering such active love and involvement."
The children of the orphanages demonstrated their happiness and excitement, and the managers of both charitable organizations expressed their appreciation of the thoughtful gesture.
