Bangkok--7 Nov--Vivaldi
Stamford International University, a respected and established innovative educational institute in Thailand, supported a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) project pioneered by Miss Thailand World 2014 “Maeya” Nonthawan Thongleng, a 3rd year student in Stamford’s International Airlines Business Management program, in Udon Thani province. The mission of the CSR program “Return the happiness to society” is to provide educational opportunities (including the benefits of participatory sports education) to young Thai students in underprivileged areas.
Miss Thailand World 2014 and Stamford student “Maeya” Thongleng, who drove the initial inspiration for the CSR venture said, “As a student at Stamford, I’m incredibly proud to be in a position to help encourage learning and social development through Stamford University’s CSR initiatives. We pledge ongoing dedication to creating as many opportunities as possible for Thai students in unprivileged areas, to enable them to get a better chance in life and to be able to follow their dreams.”
The CSR project team was joined by famous singers from R Siam Music together with Sheriff Chatchawan Pathanon, Sang Kom district of Udon Thani and Udon Thani Primary Educational Service Area Office 1. The tour visited three schools located in Sang Kom district in Udon Thani.
Maeya’s project, with the close support of Stamford University, serves to create awareness for the sharing of opportunities for promising young Thai students by giving them quality education time with the inclusion of team sports, which fosters social, and communication advancement as well as self-confidence. The three schools in the tour included Khok Sawang School, Ban Numtaing School and Ban Don Duea School. One lucky student, Artit Pensanga, received a bicycle and scholarship as a gift, with the hope that the student’s exceptional future performance can inspire other students to achieve strong results through continuing efforts with the support of Stamford resources and educational materials.
