Beirut, March 16, 2018: Stepping out of the ordinary and traditional mother’s day celebrations, Grand Hills, a luxury collection hotel & spa, in collaboration with WAW Surprise, the professional website for planning all types of surprises, chose to honor SOS mothers, during an elegant lunch at Pool Café, on Thursday March 15, 2018, in the presence of media mothers as well.
This year Grand Hills gave motherhood a new meaning by honoring and recognizing the selflessness SOS mothers had to express in their lives for the sake of lonely children. This gift is rare and is the result of true altruism and for these reasons Grand Hills and WAW surprise joined efforts to pay tribute to these mothers and honor them on their day.
After lunch that was prepared especially for this occasion by the Executive Chef at Grand Hills Mr. Rabih Saleh, SOS mothers and media enjoyed the beautiful ambiance of Grand Hills, nestled in the beautiful area of Broumana. For the occasion, Mr. Giuseppe Ressa, the General Manager at Grand Hills, a luxury collection hotel & spa said, “A mother is the essence of all the unconditional love in this world, as well as the care and sacrifices. Our initiative today comes from the heart of humanity where motherhood is the core of life and the true meaning of selfless love. We are grateful to join hands with WAW surprise to pay these mothers back some of their efforts.”
As for the founder of WAW surprise, Mrs. Kawssar Hanboury, she said, “WAW Surprise does not neglect the social stratum. Out of its commitment to sowing joy at important social events, and after its initiatives last year on Father’s Day and on International Women’s Day, WAW Surprise chose to celebrate Mother’s Day with mothers of SOS children’s villages, who chose to be alternative mothers of children deprived of the family’s warmth. Today’s invitation is an appreciation of their role in raising these children and giving them maternal affection, which is important to their physical and psychological growth.”
Grand Hills is always keen on creating the perfect set up for any occasion by organizing the perfect events for every celebration. For Easter celebrations, Grand Hills is developing packages that suit all families where each member can enjoy and relax his vacation.
