Bangkok--9 Oct--Novotel Bangkok on Siam Square
Several months ago Novotel Bangkok on Siam Square, alongside a local charitable organisation, piloted a scheme in Bangkok to improve the livelihoods of children living in slums, by recycling discarded portions of soap through an innovative cold-press recycling process. The resulting sanitised soap bars are now repurchased by the hotel for distribution to hotel guests as souvenirs; along with being distributed to many of Bangkok’s under-privileged communities with the aim to improve hygiene. The children participating in the project, not only earn funds for the community, but also develop new skills and earn a sense of self-worth.
