Donations from Divi Resorts' new program will provide local children with a nourishing breakfast to keep them focused and full at school.
CHAPEL HILL, N.C., June 2, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Divi Resorts is proud to announce its latest Divi Cares initiative on Aruba to help provide local children who would otherwise go hungry with a healthy breakfast before school. Divi's Aruba resorts have teamed up with Divi Aruba Phoenix Beach Resort's former General Manager, Gerrit Griffith, and Ban Uni Man Pa Cria Nos Muchanan, which translates to "Let's Join Hands to Feed Our Children," to feed hundreds of children that go to school hungry on Aruba every day.
"For over 43 years, I was honored to work at Divi Resorts, and in my retirement, I have focused on giving back to my community," said Griffith. "One of the worthy causes I support is Ban Uni Man Pa Cria Nos Muchanan, an organization that ensures no child goes to school hungry."
Griffith, with the assistance of organizer John Fun, enlisted the help of Divi Resorts on Aruba to make this goal a reality.
"Fighting hunger amongst children is a noble act of love," said Fun. "It takes a village to raise a child, and with the support of Divi Resorts on Aruba, we can join together to feed our children and feed their future."
It's a cause Divi Resorts was proud to join by asking guests to give back to their favorite vacation destination and home away from home.
"We're asking guests to donate a dollar for each day of their stay, added to their final bill at checkout, to help fund this uplifting organization," said Marco Galaverna, Divi Resorts President & COO. "One hundred percent of their donations will go directly to the foundation, and all administrative costs are being covered by Divi Resorts. We can't wait to see the wonderful impact this program will have on the island and in the lives of those children."
This program begins on June 1, 2023 at Divi Aruba Phoenix Beach Resort, Divi Dutch Village Beach Resort, and Divi Village Golf & Beach Resort.
"Each guest's generous donation of a dollar a day will go a long way in supporting this cause," added Griffith. "I'm looking forward to seeing the smiling faces of students and teachers alike as we work hard to support our community and make a difference on the island."
