Wuhan, China, 26 July 2024 — As the weather get hot in Summer and water levels in the Yangtze River stay at a high level, Marco Polo Wuhan, a riverside hotel has stepped up to support the unsung heroes working tirelessly to protect the community from flooding by providing lunch boxes to the dedicated individuals working on the dyke of Yangtze River.
Driven by a deep sense of gratitude and responsibility, the initiative aims to ensure that the flood protection workers have access to nutritious meals during their long and arduous shifts. Recognizing the critical role these workers play in safeguarding the area, the hotel's culinary team meticulously prepares and delivers meals to the dyke, offering a taste of home-cooked comfort.
"Our community is deeply intertwined with the Yangtze River, and we understand the immense challenges that come with it," said Johnny Kiu, General Manager of Marco Polo Wuhan. "Providing meals is our way of showing appreciation and ensuring these brave individuals have the energy they need to continue their vital work."
Every lunch box is carefully packed, with a variety of nourishing dishes that showcase the hotel's dedication to quality and comfort. This act of support has been greatly appreciated by the flood protection workers, who frequently encounter challenging conditions while working to reinforce and monitor the dyke.
The initiative underscores Marco Polo Wuhan’s long-standing values of community and solidarity. By giving back in this meaningful way, Marco Polo Wuhan hopes to inspire others to support those who protect the region from natural disasters. "In times like these, it's important for us all to come together," Johnny Kiu added. "We're honored to do our part and will continue to support our community and the incredible people who keep us safe."
As a foreign-funded enterprise rooted in Wuhan for 16 years, Marco Polo Wuhan plans to continue this initiative when necessary, expressing a firm commitment to support the community and flood prevention workers, and further interpreting and fulfilling the company's social responsibility.
