The Story of BANANA KIDS in #WorldofHyattThe story so far-The genesis of “Banana Kids” like all good things in life was unexpected and spontaneous.Ilona, a guest, staying at the Hyatt Place Gurgaon on business, one day passed the slum and wasmoved to tears by the way the children were living. Unable to control her emotions, she shared abanana she had picked up from the breakfast table earlier that day and gave them food hopingthat she was contributing to their livelihood. From this instance they got the name “Banana Kids”!Unable to shrug off the experience and plagued by the pain she saw in the eyes of children, shefound herself in tears when sitting in the hotel the next day. Noticing a distressed lady, the GeneralManager approached her to enquire about her wellbeing. She shared her experience andexpressed her desire to help the children and their mothers to improve their lives. This gave birth toa partnership between like-minded people. A dream to serve and a purpose of giving back to thecommunity in a #worldofhyatt came together to create the “Banana Kids” movement.The under privileged families comprise of mainly single mothers and children living by the road sidewho are left to fend for themselves in the urban jungles of Gurgaon.In year 2017 Hyatt Place Gurgaon joined hands with Sambhavna Welfare Society, a non-profitorganization committed to providing education to under privileged children in the neighbourhoodto embrace the children from the slums on the by lanes between the hotel and the school. Togetherwe have identified children who are keen to seek education but are unable to afford this luxury (forthem).To start with we have enrolled 4 kids – Sagar, Upasna, Raja & Komal in the school. Later in year 2018they started going to a government school which apart from providing education also providedthem mid day meal and cash emolument of Rs 500 per month.Sambhavna Welfare Society was awarded USD 3000 for proud winners of GMOS Photo Contest fromEAME SWAsia region. Later the NGO also received an award of USD 12000 for Hyatt CommunityGrant in year 2017. 36 | P a g e
