AirAsia, Muang Thai Life Assurance and CIMB Thailand join together for an activity aimed at bringing happiness to the nation’s youths by inviting primary school students to take part in the “Say Your Dream and Make it Real” campaign, asking them to write down their dream careers to be selected by a committee of distinguished members with support by the Office of the Basic Education Commission, which publicized the acitivity to its over 30 thousand schools, so that a bright winner may be flown to Bangkok to act out their aspiration in the junior-sized world of Kidzania Bangkok this 12-14 September.
Mr. Santisuk Klongchaiya, Director of Commercial for Thai AirAsia, said that AirAsia is proud to be working alongside constructive organizations to provide opportunities to the nation’s young, allowing them to express their dreams and to travel to new experiences. Among the new experiences are a first flight, where the young dreamers will be able to see pilots and cabin crew doing their jobs up close, and the opportunity to role play their dream job at Kidzania Bangkok, where AirAsia has installed an actual plane from its fleet so that children may try their hand at being pilots and cabin crew themselves. This latest activity is in line with AirAsia’s desire to offer happiness through new experiences, especially for the Kingdom’s youths, so that they may grow to be productive citizens.
Ms. Pitraporn Boonyarattapan, Deputy Managing Director of Muang Thai Life Assurance Plc., remarked that her company is deeply pleased to be a part of “Say Your Dream and Make it Real” as it has always seen the importance of the younger generation. Ms. Pitraporn pointed out that letting children develop new skills by role playing in realistic careers at Kidzania Bangkok will allow them to fulfill their aspirations. She affirmed that her company is determined to support all aspects of child development and thus serves as one of Kidzania Bangkok’s key allies, operating its own Muang Thai Life Assurance simulation office at the facility to promote crucial life skills.
Mr. Adisorn Sermchaiwong, Senior Executive Vice President of Consumer Sales and Distribution Division for CIMB Thailand Plc., as head of the bank’s Community Link program, made known that the institution is delighted to be a part of the activity, which is in line with its prioritization of youth development. Building on the bank’s CSR program, which provides computer classes and e-Learning to rural schools, Mr. Adisorn expressed belief that “Say Your Dream and Make it Real” will instill children with the habit for saving as they will be able to try all the real services of a bank, from depositing to withdrawing, with Kidzania’s in-house currency Kidzo. He noted they will also be able to use realistic ATM cards, try their hand at working as a bank teller, manage and protect money being entered into a bank vault and most importantly learn how to effectively manage finances. CIMB is hopeful that children who participate in this activity will learn while they are having fun and grow up to be savvy with their money.
Ms. Anna Kamenskaya, Director of Marketing for Kidzania Bangkok, remarked that Kidzania is a major proponent of developing Thailand’s young as it is Kidzania’s determination to foster all aspects of growing children by providing them an arena to act out realistic scenarios so that they may learn real life lessons in a fun and entertaining way. At Kidzania, children learn basic economic values, self determination and team work, all key skills to being effective adults and living happy lives.
The “Say Your Dream and Make it Real” activity has also received strong support from the Office of the Basic Education Commission (OBEC) which has publicized the project to schools across the nation and will also serve as a member of its selection committee alongside Kidzania Bangkok which is providing the miniature world for the selected children to learn and play in.
“Say Your Dream and Make it Real” will be supporting youths from schools across the nation to experience a new kind of learning. Hopeful participants need only write out their dream job and mail it to “CIMB Thailand P.O. Box 2114, Bang Rak Post Office, Bang Rak District, Bangkok 10500”. Submissions will be from today until 30 August, 2013 (submissions must be post marked). Six selected students will be announced on 6 September, 2013 and flown to Bangkok to experience their dream job at Kidzania Bangkok 12-14 September.
