Banyan Tree has completed its latest project of rebuilding the canteen at the Wat Santi Wanaram Child Development Centre after it was destroyed by a tropical storm in January 2019.
The company’s Banyan Tree Global Foundation has sponsored hundreds of causes and projects worldwide, and for this project, Banyan Tree Samui not only funded the cost of reconstruction but the hotel staff even rolled up their sleeves and helped out with landscaping and other labour-intensive tasks.
After over a year of construction work, the canteen at the Wat Santi Wanaram Child Development Centre has been completed. The 103 children and their teachers will have a fresh and safe environment for lunch, activities and play.
Other initiatives implemented successfully by Banyan Tree Samui in recent years include a blood drive campaign, and the ongoing “Seedlings Mentorship” project aimed at nurturing young Samui students by providing them with vocational and life skills and education, and offering scholarships and financial support.
