Sofitel Mumbai BKC contributed to the welfare of stray animals in the community by lending a paw to ‘Animal Matters to Me’ (AMTM), an NGO committed to the well-being of stray dogs, cats and birds. The ambassadors of the hotel donated items as per the wish list of the NGO. The contribution was on the occasion of Solidarity Week 2017, an initiative by AccorHotels, the parent brand of the luxury property.
Solidarity Week by AccorHotels celebrates unity and generosity around the world. The reputed international hospitality brand has involved over 18,000 employees in more than 500 hotels in 47 countries. For the same, hotels have to choose a charity or organization of their choice and extend their support by raising awareness on the cause. AMTM is an animal welfare charitable trust that has been established to support animals and birds in need.
Biswajit Chakraborty, general manager, Sofitel Mumbai BKC said, “Sofitel Mumbai BKC has always extended support to the community through various initiatives. Solidarity Week by AccorHotels is being celebrated for the sixth time at our property and we are honoured to pledge support to AMTM to spread awareness and compassion in our community towards stray animals.”
The NGO uses contributions from individuals and organisations alike to provide food and medical attention to animals, reptiles and birds. It is also extensively involved in animal and bird rescues, fostering, adoption, medical aid, animal birth control programs, vaccination programmes and creating awareness in the community.
A key event for AccorHotels employees around the world, Solidarity Week has constantly grown. Since 2008, it has supported more than 300 projects in 44 countries. This year’s edition has been announced on a large scale and teams across the globe have come up with innovative ideas to rally themselves and help the communities around them.
