THE GIRLS of St Ann’s Orphanage in Georgetown got a very special Christmas treat from the management of the Ramada Georgetown Princess, and they provided Christmas entertainment in return.Ramada Georgetown Princess General Manager Uger Turetgen, accompanied by Sales and Marketing Director Petal Ridley, visited the orphanage to spread Christmas cheer, but were moved by the impassioned and heartfelt singing from the girls. The girls all gathered around the Christmas tree and spread some Christmas cheer of their own, moving General Manager Uger Turetgen to promise to return on Christmas Day with more gifts.

The team from the Ramada took gifts for each girl, and the hotel’s chef prepared a special meal for them as well. Speaking at the simple ceremony for the handing over of the gifts, Turetgen said, “This event was just a start; Ramada will be rolling out the new brand, and will be building stronger relationships in the local communities.”

He added, “The Ramada management has already identified youth activities in the community, including sports and culture, for its support in 2016”.

The roll-out of the Ramada brand has begun, and Sales and Marketing Director Petal Ridley has said, “Christmas is the best time for us to give back, and to signal the Ramada presence”.

She said “…customers, both local and international, can expect substantially improved facilities and services. And the community, especially organisations like St Ann’s, can expect more from Ramada”.
