Hotelies with a Heart is a group of undergraduate and graduate students from the School of Hotel Administration at Cornell University, New York, who share a strong desire to help members of the hospitality industry in times of need.
The city of Mumbai, India was witness to a series of horrific terrorist attacks on November 26, 2008. Over 200 people lost their lives, and even more were injured. During the attacks at the Oberoi-Trident and Taj Mahal Palace & Tower, 22 employees were killed in the line of fire; they were killed while protecting their guests.
Hotelies with a Heart is raising funds for families of the employees who were killed in the attacks. Our goal is to raise Rs100,000 per employee ($50,000 in total). I invite you to learn more about these heroes, and to help us help their families. Visit www.hotelieswithaheart.com to view videos, articles and guest testimonials relating to the '26-11 Fund.' We are welcoming donations online via our web site.
Each member of our Executive Committee does or has previously worked with Oberoi-Trident or Taj Group of Hotels. We share a relationship with both companies and will present all funds raised to Presidents of Trident Hotels and the Taj Group of Hotels on April 02, 2009. We appreciate your help in passing this message on to your friends, family and colleagues.
Word-of-mouth is the most powerful tool we have.
