Bangkok--9 Oct--SET
The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) honors and encourages philanthropic activities of individuals and organizations through its annual Social Recognition Project to honor them as role models and inspiration to the future generations.
This year’s music talent from the Sugree Charoensook Award is granted to Tanis Sriglindee for his musical talent in initiating Thai folk flute’s incredible techniques and varieties to preserve Thai cultural heritage. The Samrerng Chaiyong Awards were given to Niwat Sriswat for his 15 years of outstanding work in coaching community youth football and Nimae Nidehah for his football coaching in Pattani for two decades.
These two awards are part of the total of seven areas of recognition selected by seven organizations, part of SET’s corporate social responsibility projects.
SET Chairman Sathit Limpongpan said SET has been granting awards annually since 2007 to individuals and organizations that contribute to society as role models in doing goodness, encouraging others to accept and benchmark as best practice for Thai society. The THB 2 million for each award would be to support both the individuals and the organization’s missions to benefit the society at large in music and sports, to upgrade quality of life both physically and mentally, eventually grooming quality human resource for Thai society.
Sugree Charoensook, chairman of the foundation named after him, said that SET has given opportunities for his foundation to create more musical activities, assist underprivileged children, hill tribes, and rural children to sing and play musical instruments, enabling them to develop their physical and mental potential and live harmoniously in society. Granting the award to Tanis Sriglindee was a recognition of Thailand’s pride for his amazing creation in using Thai folk flute as a tool to inspire and promote Thai nationalism, towards sustainable society.
Juta Tingsabhat, vice chairman of the Football History Association, said that the association has continuously supported and enhanced football history information and statistics for Thai society’s benefits. We congratulated the two awardees, namely Niwat Sriswat and Nimae Nidehah who have brought prestige to football professionals in Thailand by dedicating themselves to society and rural communities without expecting returns. We believe their good deeds will be inspirational to all.
The other award recipients screened and selected by the other five organizations will be announced soon. These five organizations are the Duang Prateep Foundation; the Population and Community Development Association, the Professor Sangvian Indaravijaya Foundation, the Thai Library Association, and the Vimuttayalaya Foundation.
