Hoteles Catalonia delivers school supplies in Haiti

Delivery of school material

In Hoteles Catalonia we’re still involved with the school we rebuilt in Jacmel (Haiti), a deeply affected area after de earthquake in 2010.

Thanks to our ‘Play in Facebook for Haiti’ campaign and private donations through the bank accounts you can see below, we’ve recently delivered to the kids in St Pierre Lamontagne 186 backpacks, fully equipped with school supplies.

During 2011, the campaign Hoteles Catalonia with Haiti collected 70,000 USD for the reconstruction of St Pierre Lamontagne school. With the support Solidaridad Calasancia Foundation, half of it was a donation from Hoteles Catalonia as a commitment with the community; 24,000 USD were donations from personal contributions in Spain and almost 10,000 USD were voluntary donations from our colleagues working in the Caribbean properties.

Become a fan of Hoteles Catalonia Caribbean on Facebook and share our commitment for Haití; play with us and choose what you want us to donate to the school: desks, books or soccer balls. We will count all the selections (one per fan!) and we will donate the same amount in USD to the school every trimester. The more players we get, the more money we donate. As simple as that!
