Hilton Phuket Arcadia Resort & Spa is pleased to grant THB 100,000 to sponsor English lessons, in partnership with the ‘Phuket Has Been Good To Us’ foundation for local students at two schools in Kamala, Phuket.
This fund came from the hotel’s 2017 Action Grant winning prize, donation box contributions and the Hilton Flea Market event, and will be used to employ qualified English teachers to provide English language classes for students.
The hotel team is proud to give students this opportunity to improve their language skills and education to better their futures. The program is part of Hilton’s “Travel with Purpose” initiative that aims to impact one million youth by next year.
