"There’s genuine enthusiasm for the project at Accor!
I’m always expecting to find staff members asking when they can start building houses. That’s the price of success."

"In the three years of our involvment with the Virlanie Foundation, we are convinced that the assistance to their program is a laudable activity. The employees believe in working together to support sustainable projects such as Virlanie Foundation.

The work we do for the children and youth of Virlanie provides meaningful help but more than that, it has given the hotel associates a reason to go outside of their own personal concerns and difficulties of daily life to reach out, share time and resources no matter how meager with the more needy."

"I consider that the true richness of a person radicates in what he or she can give and not only on what he or she has.  (...) I learned the basics on building a house and the dedication of the family that was with us surprised me , as well as the happiness that Aaron, the family's kid, transmits. The sensation of doing something good without waiting for some recognition, to learn more of what I am capable to do and to realice that I have the capacity to give much more than I thought. (...) The best gift is the satisfaction you get when you help someone."
