'The Box Appeal', the charity drive campaign that aims to help those most in need by filling boxes with essential everyday items, came to a successful ending by achieving the 500 boxes in its first Lebanese edition.
"We are immensely proud of the achievement," said Kosta Kourotsidis, general manager at Radisson Blu Martinez Hotel Beirut. "This all goes to the great efforts the community, local partners and Radisson Blu Beirut team have put together to make this campaign happen at the first place and in achieving the target." added Mr. Kourotsidis.
The charity campaign aimed at helping students in need by providing stationery for their schooling as a contribution towards supplying the required tools to build their educational future. The campaign is simple, it relies on asking people to fill a provided box with a pre-determined 'shopping list' of essential stationary items needed for every school student.
"We are in the process of delivering the donated boxes to the students across Lebanon with the help of teach-a-child, and it is reward to see what a difference The Box Appeal can make, first-hand. We hope to repeat this success in 2014 and once more would like to thank all of our supporters and partners," said Kosta Kourotsidis, general manager at Radisson Blu Martinez Hotel Beirut.
