The Anam's yoga instructor teaches yoga to orphans.
Umesh Sharma, a yoga instructor at The Anam resort, decided to open a free yoga class every Sunday morning for 20 orphaned children at Thanh Son Pagoda in Cam Lam district, right next to the resort. During a visit to the pagoda, Umesh met these underprivileged children (around 70 orphans or abandoned) being cared for by the pagoda, and he felt he had to do something to help change their lives. He believed yoga could help them feel the vibrant energy of life and improve their health, especially during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.
Recently, the staff at The Anam donated yoga mats to the children to help them practice more effectively.
Tanah Gajah in Bali provides food for employees.
The staff at Tanah Gajah Resort, a Hadiprana resort in Bali, have always prioritized providing guests with fresh, organically grown food through their "farm-to-table" program. However, during the Covid-19 pandemic, they shifted that program to "farm-to-staff meals." They are growing additional short-term vegetables such as chives, onions, garlic, chili peppers, radishes, water spinach, etc., to help support the resort's struggling employees.
The resort also increased tilapia farming productivity in its ponds using sustainable methods to provide fish for its 126 employees. The majority of the employees live in nearby villages, so Tanah Gajah's initiative has truly benefited the local community.
