resorts in Goa and Jaipur. At Karma Royal Haathi Mahal
we’re introducing 24 brand new luxury apartments
to add to the Karma Royal Residences from sleek
modular kitchens to smart TVs and even an outdoor
Jacuzzi that can accommodate up to eight adults in
the resort gardens!

This has been a Karma brand pillar since the company’s
inception and it continues to be one of the most fulfilling
aspects of our work.

Below are short stories and photographs of the children who

have been impacted by Karma Group’s kind support.

 CAMP ROYAL 2019
Camp Royal is a huge hit with the youngsters and 2019 was no exception as the 66 Grade 8 students were
thrilled with a visit to a waterpark and a screening of the latest Spiderman movie - since the theme of this
year’s trip was Marvel’s Avengers. Many of them were seeing the ocean for the first time - and just the
experience of expanding their horizons is a huge benefit.

CHILDREN HOPE IN ACTIONS (C.H.I.A)

Karma Group provides ongoing support to Children’s Hope In Action
(CHIA), which supports kids who face challenges like poverty,
disability and exclusion. Each month, US$1000 goes towards
CHIA’s operations to support daily on site therapy for children with
disabilities. But it’s not just cash donations - Karma has a close
relationship with CHIA and the children come for swimming lessons
at Karma Cây Tre as well as enjoying regular excursions.

INAUGURATION OF CHILDREN’S PARK AT

TRANG KEO LAKE, HỘI AN
Karma supports 26 underprivileged children nominated by the local
government. The Group conducts free English classes twice a week
for elementary school children in Thanh Hoa library and supplying
each student 2 uniforms.

CHRISTEL HOUSE ART PROJECT ASSOCIATION

Karma Group also collaborated with Christel House on a special art
project to encourage talented young artists to develop their skills
with the help of Karma Group artist Rajesh Chari. The result was
a stunning mural reflecting the textural shades and atmosphere of
Goa, which now decorates the wall in the library leading into the
dining hall.
