A Hundred Million Hearts for Teachers in Deep South

(09/04/2013)

The Ministry of Education recently organized a charity concert, "A Hundred Million Hearts for Teachers in the Deep South", to collect donations for families of teachers killed or injured by the southern unrest. The event took place at Central World in Bangkok with the Inspector General Mr. Rojana Kritcharoen as the chairperson.

Mr. Rojana said that this concert aimed to raise public awareness of the violence in southern Thailand which usually claimed life and property of educators and teachers working there. It also encourages private and public organizations to donate money for families of teachers and educators killed and injured and to give them moral support.

Highlights of the concert included stage performances by famous Thai actors, namely Summer Stop, Pop Pongkul, Am Siraprapha and DJs from Seed FM. This concert was one of continuous fund-raising to help teachers and educators working in the south. A recently completed activity was a marathon bike run. Those who would like to make donations can contact the Ministry of Education's Hot Line 1579 for more information.
