This is what will help strengthen our Thai society, by providing opportunities to help the underprivileged gain opportunities to live, study and practice skills such as academic capabilities, skill and being a good person of society, as committed by the foundation’s founders for a long time now. It has created many proud people for many generations, and today, those who have been funded by the Buddharaksa Foundation, have graduated, carry stable careers and are good people of society, have originated the idea of carrying on the goodwill of the founders. This is the beginning of becoming a giver of opportunities as alumni and to create a network of a power generation, to co-create activities and develop human resources which will result in the promotion of talent into the Thai workforce.
