‘Gold from Garbage’

On 26 March, the Duang Prateep Foundation (DPF) and Thai Namthip Corporation Plc jointly organized a “Gold from Garbage” activity to celebrate Global Recycling Day. Our elderly residents and sponsored students raised awareness about the need for waste separation, while promoting creative ways for seniors to stay active. Assistant Professor Dr. Methee Thamwattana from Burapha University guided participants on transforming everyday materials like rubber bands, PVC pipes and clothes pegs into simple exercise equipment suitable for the elderly. Staff and volunteers from Thai Namthip also learned practical waste separation techniques at the garbage storage area near the foundation. The company further spread joy by providing meals and desserts to the participants. The DPF sincerely thanks Thai Namthip Corporation Plc for their collaboration in caring for our planet and making it a better place to live.
