Archipelago International, the largest hotel operator in Southeast Asia, has reaffirmed its commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) with the Archipelago Cancer Care Initiative (ACCI). This initiative, conducted in collaboration with hotels across East Java, recently organized a heartwarming visit to the Yayasan Peduli Kanker Anak Indonesia (YPKAI) in Surabaya.

The event featured Archipelago International's top chefs preparing nutritious meals for the children. The chefs not only cooked delicious and healthy food but also involved the children in setting up and decorating the dishes, creating an unforgettable culinary experience. The program aimed not only to provide nourishment but also to engage the children in fun and creative activities during their ongoing treatments. Adding to the festive atmosphere were clowns performing puppet shows and exciting games, which entertained the children and brightened their spirits.

"At Archipelago International, we believe in contributing to our communities. This program is particularly important as it allows us to consistently support and bring positive impact to the lives of children battling cancer. We hope to bring smiles to their faces and create cherished memories during our visits," remarked John Flood, CEO of Archipelago International.

The day's activities included the donation of cash, milk, and educational supplies to each child, symbolizing Archipelago International's commitment to providing tangible support and encouragement. Representatives from the 14 participating hotels came together for a concluding meal, fostering unity and reaffirming their collective dedication to supporting children in need.

A spokesperson from YPKAI expressed heartfelt gratitude, stating, "This support means the world to us. We hope today's activities will uplift the children's spirits as they navigate through challenging times."

The Archipelago Cancer Care Initiative exemplifies Archipelago International's dedication to corporate responsibility, encouraging broader community engagement and support for children battling cancer in East Java. As they continue their CSR efforts, Archipelago International sets a commendable example of corporate involvement in social causes, positively impacting the lives of those they reach.
