Its good to plough back some of the profits in the community where you are operating. We need more of such
This also helps the Hotel because most people who visit Livingstone will make sure they live their money at Sun Hotel because it is in good hands. Part of it goes to Charity. Well done.
If the private Sector can do this much, what more can a government do? Well done Sun. Please continue with this spirit. Your help is very much needed.
Well done Sun International, despite the cruel world credit crunch munching everyone, GRZ should be a good example as well **==
