Over 20,000 guilders raised for the SGR Group in Curaçao  

WILLEMSTAD - Dolphin Suites & Wellness, a symbol of outstanding hospitality and dedicated community involvement since its inception, celebrated its 15th anniversary last month with various memorable events. A highlight of these festivities was the charity seminar "Mindset & Resilience," which not only marked the milestone of the anniversary but also had a profound impact on Curaçaoan society. 

The seminar, organized in honor of Dolphin Suites & Wellness' anniversary, focused on resilience, leadership, and personal growth. It brought together a diverse group, ranging from local foundations such as the Alton Paas Foundation, SGR Group, PWF & Sinta Ros to representatives from the business community and the general public, all united in the pursuit of a resilient and inclusive society. Several international and local speakers shared inspiring stories and insights. Minister Larmonie-Cecilia emphasized the power of solidarity and the empowerment and attention to vulnerable individuals in society.  

Franklin Girigori shared his personal rehabilitation experience and the support he found at SGR, while Niek van den Adel and Peter Kapitein shared their expertise on resilience, the impact of good care, and the foundations of happiness with both laughter and tears. Kirti Daryanan inspired the audience with her brief workshop on a positive mindset and the power of one's own thoughts. The premise of the seminar was not only to inspire people as much as possible but also to raise funds, with all proceeds benefiting the SGR Group for the construction of a music hall for their clients.  

Thanks to ticket sales, a raffle, and a crowdfunding initiative by one of the speakers, a total amount of 20,676 guilders was raised for this noble cause. The festivities concluded on Saturday with the opening of the new wing of Dolphin Suites & Wellness, an expansion that not only increases the number of rooms and amenities but also strengthens the hotel's commitment to inclusivity. Partners Mike Schoon and Alette Borger shared their vision and gratitude, while the Minister of SOAW emphasized the importance of sustainable entrepreneurship and differentiation through innovation.  

The celebration ended with a spectacular fireworks display and musical performances, giving guests the opportunity to explore the new facilities. It was an unforgettable occasion to honor the past, embrace the future, and celebrate Dolphin Suites' ongoing commitment to exceptional hospitality and community involvement. Dolphin Suites & Wellness remains committed to creating extraordinary experiences, embracing innovation, and making a positive impact on society.
