丽思卡尔顿之社区公益活动故事 - Community Footprints Wow Story from Ritz-Carlton

来自上海浦东丽思卡尔顿酒店的‘母亲节感恩活动’— ‘The Mother’s Day’ at the Ritz-Carlton Shanghai Pudong

在人生崎岖坎坷的旅途上，是谁给予你最真诚、最亲切的关爱；是谁对你嘘寒问暖、时刻给予你无私的奉献；是谁不知疲倦地教导着你为人处世的道理；是谁为了你的琐事而烦恼？对了！是伟大的母亲们。母爱是无私的，是永不停息的。没有一位母亲是不爱自己的子女的。不管怎样，母亲终究都是生命中最真挚、最难以割舍的人。

在今年母亲节来临之际，上海浦东丽思卡尔顿酒店组织了“母亲节感恩活动”。酒店邀请了残疾员工和他们的家人，由花房的绅士淑女们担任老师教大家插花，通过鲜花向母亲表达我们的爱与感恩。

2013年5月10日活动当天，我们共邀请到六组绅士淑女们和他们的家人。老师首先教大家包装单支的康乃馨，绅士淑女们都专注地听老师的讲解，用心地包装着手中的花朵，仿佛要把对妈妈的爱都倾注其中。在老师的指导下，大家独立完成了第一件作品，我们邀请每一组绅士淑女和他们的家人来到台前，他们将康乃馨献给家人，在这个特殊的节日里，他们紧紧相拥，说出了对家人的爱和感恩，感谢妈妈和家人一直以来的照顾，因为有了爱，身体的残疾也没有影响他们健康、快乐地成长，大家都被这温馨的场景所感动，湿红了眼眶。接下来是更具难度的花篮插花，从装饰花篮，修剪花枝，到布置鲜花的位置，大家每一步都不马虎，经过一番努力，大家都完成了一件漂亮的作品，我们为每一组绅士淑女和他们的家人以及他们的作品拍照留念，希望他们能时时回忆起这样温馨的时刻。

活动结束后，我们邀请绅士淑女们和他们的家人共同参观了酒店，去到了他们平日工作的地方，他们开心地向家人介绍自己的工作场所和同事，工作中的其他绅士淑女们也热情地上前与这些客人们问候，祝妈妈们节日快乐。

通过此次“母亲节感恩”活动，我们为残疾员工提供了一个平台，让他们表达对家人的爱与感恩，共同分享这温馨的时刻；同时，也让这些员工和他们的家人感受到了酒店对他们的关怀。希望我们的活动能将爱与温暖传递给每一位绅士淑女们。

In the bumpy journey of life, who gives you the most sincere and warm care; who always gives you selfless dedication; who tirelessly teaches you the hard lessons of life; who worries about you day and night? Mothers. Maternal love is selfless and eternal. You can’t find a mom who doesn’t love her child. Anyway, mother is the most important person in our lives.

This year, as the Mother’s Day approaching, The Ritz-Carlton Shanghai, Pudong organized a Mother’s Day celebration activity, Love of Carnation. We invited the mothers and family members of disabled employees to come to hotel. The ladies and gentlemen from green house taught them to arrange flowers. We expressed our love through the beautiful carnation.

On May 10, 2013, we invited six couples of our ladies and gentlemen and their family members. They all listened to the teachers attentively and decorated their flowers carefully. After finishing the first task, we invited every couple on the stage to give the flower to mothers or family members and express their love in words. On this special day, they hugged each other and showed their gratitude. Because of love, they are not influenced by the physical problem and they can also enjoy the beauty of life. Everyone was moved by the sincere appreciations. Then, with the help of teachers, the family couples each decorated a flower basket. We took photos of them to help them remember the sweet moment.

After the activity, we invited our ladies and gentlemen and their family members to have a hotel tour. Our colleagues gave them warm greetings and showed them around.

This activity provided our disabled employees with an opportunity to express their love and gratitude to their family members. We are happy to share the sweet moment with them and take care of them. We hope that we can pass love and warmth to all the ladies and gentlemen.
