AMMAN, Jordan - Oct. 28, 2013 - PRLog -- King Hussein Bin Talal Convention Centre managed by Hilton has been awarded a prestigious Hilton Worldwide Travel With Purpose Action Grant, one of only 26 awarded worldwide.

The Travel with Purpose™ Action Grants are part of Hilton Worldwide’s global effort to recognize, encourage and offer support to those local communities in which the company operates.

Hilton KHBTCC’s team will be working closely with its community partner, INJAZ organization, to implement the project at Al Swaimeh School for boys. The play area will be renovated as a football court serving the students as well as the community after school hours widening the base of beneficiaries from this project.

Volunteers from Hilton KHBTCC will be giving 10th grade students a one year long program called Enterprise Business Challenge.

The course comes in two parts; theoretical classes in addition to a computer-based simulation game that allows the students to practice the skills they learned in real-life scenarios.
