InterCityHotel guests’ donations lead to the successful completion of school building project under the management of the charitable foundation FLY&HELP

Frankfurt am Main, Germany, 2014-9-23 — /Travel PR News/ — Learning and teaching at the Centre Scolaire Gishubi has just become a whole lot easier. The many kind donations made by InterCityHotel guests have led to the successful completion of a school building project under the lead management of the charitable foundation FLY&HELP (www.fly-and-help.de). The works carried out included partial demolition of the school building, which had become old and ramshackle, and the securing of a clean water supply for the staff and children alike.

Thomas Knabner, Vice President of Operations at InterCityHotels, was enthused by the fund-raising campaign: “We are thrilled that we have been able to join forces with FLY&HELP to help reconstruct the school. A modern and sustainable learning environment has been created for pupils in Rwanda.” Puneet Chhatwal, CEO of Steigenberger Hotels AG, stated: “With this campaign we are able to strengthen our position as a responsible company.”

Donation boxes will continue to be placed in InterCityHotels as the company seeks to support further projects in future. FLY&HELP works in Africa, Asia and South America.
