Joy to the world

Christmas time is coming 

Santa's little helpers 

What's in the box?

In the season of goodwill, we have been busy packing festive gifts for our little friends in Sri Lanka.

When young residents of the Kalamusu Kedella Home will wake up on Christmas Day, they will find an array of Crayola colouring books, crayons, pencils and other arts & crafts under the tree.

“On the eve of the 10th anniversary of the devastating Indian Ocean tsunami, it is important to remember that the effects of that frightful day are still felt in countries such as Sri Lanka.


While based on their religion, some of the children may not be celebrating Christmas, we are in agreement with their carers that the children welcome any occasion that brings joy into their lives.” – said Martin Cramer, our general manager recently.

Colours of the world 

We would like to thank our generous partner sponsors! The gifts were very kindly donated by World Wide Traders F.Z.C, UAE representatives of the Crayola brand.

Santa’s journey to Sri Lanka was generously helped by TNT Express, one of the world’s largest express delivery companies.

Doing the right thing

Our charity projects continue 

52 boys & girls call Kalamusu Kedella their home

The team at Sheraton Abu Dhabi organises a charity trip each year to assist children in need in a developing country. 


The initiative started in 2012 when we collaborated with the "Glorious Orphanage" in Arusha, Tanzania.


In 2013, our team visited the "Impoverished Children" in Kibera, Kenya.





You can read all about their adventures in the mission's dedicated blog: www.kiberacharity2013.blogspot.ae


Our upcoming fundraising efforts will support the Kalamusu Kedella Children’s Home in the Kalutara region of Sri Lanka. 

The facility houses 52 boys and girls between the ages of 5 – 17. 


The home initially was built to care for children who lost their families in the Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004, later continued the work with children affected by domestic violence, sexual abuse and abandonment.

The home is about 40 km from the capital, Colombo

Since there are limited number of state children homes in Sri Lanka, privately funded facilities are stepping up to take care of vulnerable children.

Naomi, Nelum and all the children at Kalamusu Kedella - we can't wait to get to know you better!
