Thank you for your help

Dear Guests,

     A vital direction in our corporate policy is to be involved in caring for, helping towards and building a better society through community and environmental concern.

     This Fund was created to help in the following areas:

1. Youth Education – Financial support for school supplies and helping to provide scholarship opportunities for underprivileged children.
2. Aid the Sick and Disadvantaged – Orphans, displaced persons and the elderly all over Thailand will be assisted with nutritional food, clothes and basic essentials. Medical treatment and counseling will also be provided where needed.
3. Religious Community – Contributing to the preservation of religious buildings and helping in the education of those who serve in a religious order and all kinds of religious activities.
4. Environmental Concern – Sponsoring volunteers to help villagers recycle their trash and educating society in ecologically sound policies

     Money from the fund will be disbursed when the need arises and this will be published on our website. If you want to make a specific donation towards this fund, please drop your contribution at the Front Office and indicate clearly on the envelope that this is for the Charity Fund. Please leave us your email address if you would like to be kept updated with our newsletter, a cyber compilation of our activities.
