The Hyatt Global Month of Community Service program encourages hotels around the world to give something back to the communities they call home. A total of 30 associates from dif­ferent departments participated in the construction activity in an effort to strengthen their com­mitment and bond with the local communities.

The team of associates trav­eled 47 kilometers to volunteer in building a house for 56-year-old Lata Man Tamang, living in Panchkal. His house was com­pletely destroyed during the earthquakes in 2015. The Partic­ipatory Approach for Safe Shel­ter Awareness (PASSA), a group formed as part of Habitat Nepal’s Nepal Earthquake Assistance Program, identified as one of the most vulnerable persons in the community, allowing him to receive extra support, such as goods-in-kind, top-ups and labor support, on top of the typical reconstruction grants offered to rebuild his house.
