To celebrate National Children’s Day, four Somerset properties in Jakarta, Somerset Berlian Jakarta, Somerset Grand Citra Jakarta, Somerset Kencana Jakarta, and Somerset Sudirman Jakarta, teamed up with Yayasan Swara Peduli to host a special event titled “Junior Hotelier” on Wednesday, 23 July 2025, at Somerset Grand Citra Jakarta.
The initiative is part of Ascott Cares, The Ascott Limited’s commitment to supporting communities through socially impactful programs. Yayasan Swara Peduli, a foundation focused on enhancing the lives of underprivileged children and strengthening social functionality, partnered in bringing the event to life.
A total of 20 children under the foundation’s care participated with enthusiasm, engaging in a series of interactive and educational activities designed to introduce them to the hospitality industry. The day began with a Making Bed session, where they learned to make beds to five-star hotel standards, followed by a Towel Art workshop that encouraged creativity. The program continued with Basic English for Receptionists and concluded with a Healthy Drink session, where children crafted Somerset’s signature wellness beverage.
“We hope to provide the children with a fun and meaningful experience, while introducing values such as teamwork, tidiness, and basic hospitality skills,” said Budhi Sanjaya, General Manager of Somerset Berlian Jakarta. “This also reflects our commitment to Ascott Cares and its goal of creating a positive impact.”
The event underscored Somerset Jakarta’s dedication to empowering future generations and fostering stronger community ties through inspiring, hands-on experiences.
