Making a Difference: Korean Air and Thailand’s Channel 3 Renovate School in Kanchanaburi

Korean Air recently partnered with Thailand’s Channel 3, one of the top broadcast stations in Thailand, on a corporate social responsibility (CSR) project to renovate the Watsuthasinee Elementary School in Kanchanaburi Province.

Volunteers from the Korean Air Thailand office, Ms. Patchanee Jarujinda, the Executive Producer and the main cast from Channel 3’s drama “Nak Su Tevda”, together with more than 100 students and teachers painted the walls of the school’s buildings in a visit on Monday. The guests also enjoyed playing sports with the students, after donating sports equipment and kitchenware to the school.

The CSR program, jointly funded by Korean Air and Channel 3, started in July with renovation of the school’s playground, walkway, dormitory and facilities currently underway.

Watsuthasinee Elementary School, located at Bong Ti in Saiyok, Kanchanaburi, Thailand, is under the Royal Initiative  project which was organized by King Bhumibol and Princess Sirindhorn in 1980. The project aims to provide basic education, basic equipment and an environment for teaching and learning, to improve the quality of life of children living in remote border areas of Thailand.

“We have participated in various corporate social responsibility initiatives in the past and each year we take pride in giving back to the communities where we operate, at home and abroad. This year, we are delighted to partner with Channel 3 from Thailand, which is influential within the community, for this meaningful campaign,” said a spokesperson for Korean Air. “We are delighted to support the students in Thailand by improving their learning environment, which also demonstrates our commitment to support the underprivileged in different communities.”
