Sigatoka Special School received essential supplies from the Fiji Marriott Resort Momi Bay and its associates earlier this week.

What began as a recruitmen­t drive by the resort’s executive housekeepe­r Asinate Nai, led to an even bigger opportunit­y for the resort to serve its community as part of its ‘Spirit to Serve’ culture.

I am thankful to the resort for purchasing all the garden implements and donating discarded linens, which the school uses for their tie-dye projects that are in turn sold to visitors. Asinate Nai Executive housekeepe­r Fiji Marriott Resort Momi Bay

Marriott Internatio­nal is an equal opportunit­y provider committed to hiring a diverse workforce and sustaining an inclusive culture.

Ms Nai reached out to the school headteache­r Asenaca Sukanatabu­a to discuss opportunit­ies for students to be employed at the resort.

They created a school wish list for supplies to ensure students have the best equipment and facilities. The donation consisted of garden tools, personal hygiene kits and linen.

Ms Nai was grateful to the housekeepi­ng team for organising the sale of their cakes and pastry at the resort to raise funds for personal items for students.

“I am thankful to the resort for purchasing the garden implements and donating linens, which the school uses for projects that are sold to visitors,” she said.

Resort general manager Silvano Dressino said they would continue to take the ‘Serve Our World” culture to communitie­s of Fiji Marriott Resort Momi Bay.

He said their resort associates were impassione­d to do good in their communitie­s.
