Project underway to assist schools in the three strife-torn southern provinces

The problem of terrorism in three border provinces with the destruction of public and private property and over 60 schools is affecting everyone there.

To show its support, Chonburi province in cooperation with the government and private sector has set up the School Assistance Project for the three border provinces to help schoolchildren affected by the unrest resulting from the terrorist activities and the burning of schools.

Pattaya City invites the public and private sectors as well as the general public who wish to help to do so by donating at Krung Thai Bank, via account number 376-0-06763-8.

The project administrators will deliver donations to the Office of Basic Education of the Ministry of Education on October 13 and 20.
