Our Indian Talents in W are also getting ready for the big match. Most of the Indian Talents took day off for today. They said, "no matter who win this is the final match for them and India will win". There were rumors about the match too. We saw from news The Daily Mail of Bangalore, something about Indian kills parrot over Pakistan win prediction. And for that our Peeush replied saying "we don't need a parrot to predict the Indian future, We have Billion of Indian population and if 50 million burp at same time our neighbors will have a record of 9.7 richer scale of earthquake because Indians make records"

FIRE Drill - March 2011

FIRE DRILL - MARCH 2011

Code 505 activated today @ Admin Building for our Fire Drill at 15:33PM. This drill is always helpful for us as we can learn and improve lot of things if there is a real situation. Fire drills and evacuation procedures are part of our Hotel's Safety Audit and most importantly it is to make our Talents aware of our safety procedures in advance. On this situation we would like to request all talents to take these kind of drills very seriously and follow ERT/Firefighters team's advice. Thank you Firefighters team and ERT team along with security and engineering department for organizing our first Fire Drill of the year.

W Care for Japan
To help Japan we have started fund raising programs in our Wonderland among our Talents. Yesterday the ceremony was initiated by Hotel Manager Laurens. A special tea party was organized with Maldivian Short-eats, coconuts (kurumb), Sheesha and special nuts "dhufun".
Talents participated and contributed money for their tea they had from our Japan Cafe. Also generous talents donated money and it was all dropped to our donation box which will be counted after today's function. To make it more happening along with Cafe we also organized a friendly soccer match between combined talents of all our clubs which ended 3 goals each.

28th March, (today) we have a Japan fund raising garage sale. Our Talents have donated lot of items and will be available to buy from our Garage sale. Also there will be a Special 10 Min Spa massage in the Nook tonight.
