HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn opened the 10th
Thai Red Cross Assembly at the Ambassador City Jomtien Hotel.
The conference, which this year focused on developing
programs to sustain provincial level Red Cross chapters in coming years,
marked the 50th anniversary of the Thai unit of the international aid
organization.
Red Cross officers and staff from across the country
joined in the two-day meeting, exchanging ideas on how to keep
provincial and district-level Red Cross units running with sufficient
funding and staff. It also served as forum for local aid representatives
to meet with officials from the national organization.
The workshop also featured sales of locally made products from 200
vendors throughout Thailand.
