Seniors’ Songkran Day

It’s that time of the year again that all Thais look forward to – the Songkran Festival (traditional Thai New Year) – and this year we held the event “Songkran for the Elderly People in The Slum” at our centre. Khru Prateep and staff invited members of our elderly residents’ group to join this event on 10 April to enjoy traditional Thai dances with representatives of DPF sponsor, KPMG Phoomchai Ltd., led by CEO Mr. Charoen Pusamritlert. DPF chairperson, Prof. Sant Hathirat, and Khru Prateep had the enjoyable task of presenting prizes to outstanding members who helped throughout the year in social services, chanting leaders and environmental conservationists. To conclude the event, the KPMG Team also presented Survival gift bags to all the seniors present. And, on April 9, DPF staff also distributed gifts on behalf of KPMG to bed-ridden people in the communities.
