For more than 34 years, Mr. Narong Chearavanont, Senior Vice President of Charoen Pokphand Group, has supported educational scholarships for children and youth through the Duang Prateep Foundation, helping children in the Khlong Toei community improve their education and become a driving force for the nation. One example is Dr. Mint – Dr. Sappanyu Phromma, the first doctor from the Khlong Toei community. On January 14, 2024, in celebration of this year’s National Children's Day, Mr. Narong spread happiness by providing 3,500 boxes of food and gifts to encourage the youth in the Khlong Toei community in collaboration with the Duang Prateep Foundation, the Buddharaksa Foundation, and the Dhanin-Tavee Chearavanont Foundation. This initiative was part of the Charoen Pokphand Group's 100th Anniversary Project and included contributions from companies within the group, such as CPF, CP All, and Lotus. Mr. Narong assigned Mr. Witawat Tantivess, Head of Strategy, Communications, and Public Relations for the Charoen Pokphand Group’s 100th Anniversary Project, to lead this effort in creating a better future for the Khlong Toei community.

The event was graced by the presence of the Governor of Bangkok, Mr. Chadchart Sittipunt, who officiated the ceremony and offered his well-wishes on National Children’s Day. Ms. Prateep Ungsongtham Hata, the founder and secretary-general of the Duang Prateep Foundation, delivered a report. Following the ceremony, a caravan of happiness proceeded along the road from the foundation, concluding at Wat Khlong Nai community. Throughout the journey, the caravan received a warm welcome from the community members, with children and youth eagerly awaiting to receive food and gifts, spreading joy and leaving lasting impressions on both the givers and receivers.

Ms. Prateep Ungsongtham Hata commented on the day's activities, saying, "We have noticed that the children in this community haven't had a full smile in many years. The foundation wanted to bring laughter back to the children on this special day. I would like to express my sincere thanks to Mr. Narong Chearavanont, Charoen Pokphand Group, and its affiliated companies for their generous support of this event."

Once again, the genuine dedication of Mr. Narong Chearavanont, Senior Vice President of Charoen Pokphand Group, has brought happiness to this community. His unwavering support, including providing food, scholarships, and improving the quality of life for the people in the Khlong Toei community through the Duang Prateep Foundation, has continued without pause to this day.
