  • Duang Prateep Foundation Monthly Newsletter for December 2017
    Duang Prateep Foundation Monthly Newsletter for December 2017 Azamara Journey On December 13, seven crew members of the Royal Caribbean International Family, sailing under the Azamara Journey flag and led by Ms. Katie Watts, cruised into the Duang Prateep Foundation and Kindergarten on a mission of goodwill. They were docked at the nearby Klong Toey Port and wanted to learn more about life for the urban poor and to provide some support. The crew undertakes similar activities for charities across the globe, and during their visit with us they participated in our innovative English lessons for the kindy-kids as well as serving lunch to all the youngsters. They also toured a part of Klong Toey slum, where the children live. At the end of the day, we bid the Azamara Journeyers calm seas and fair skies for the rest of their journey – and hope to welcome them back when they next drop anchor in port. An Apple a Day With two dance performances, our kindergarten children recently welcomed prominent event-organizer Sombat Tirasaroj (Tue), famous actor and TV personality Opal Panisara and their team. The celebrities were on a mission of health- promotion and had brought premium-grade apples (on behalf of Wa Theater Premium Fruits Company) to distribute to the children. Although Thailand is blessed with many excellent tropical fruits, such high-grade cool climate fruit was a rare treat for the youngsters. The children were also thrilled to be served lunch by the well-known visitors. Blanket Support Miss Universe Thailand 2017, Maria Poonlertlarp, a long-time friend of the DPF, has just launched an exciting new way to support educational opportunity and a drug- free environment for the children of the slums – Tulip Blankets, which have been personally designed by Maria herself.
