Transport Ministry officials rolled 60 cars and
trucks through the Eastern Seaboard last month to celebrate the
ministry’s 100th anniversary and hand out donations to handicapped
victims of road accidents.
Deputy Minister Sorasak Saensombut led the contingent
of 100 bureaucrats to the Pattaya Redemptorist School for the Feb. 18
presentation of prosthetic legs, wheelchairs and scholarships for
students. The 50 recipients had been selected by the ministry for mostly
being debilitated by motorbike and car accidents.
Afterward, the ministry’s 100 Years Rally Group
prepared lunch for students and enjoyed a dance show and handicapped
golfing exhibition.
The motorized caravan of civil servants moved on to
Sattahip in following days for tours of Sattahip’s Sea Turtle
Conservation Center and HTMS Chakri Naruebet, a visit to Nong Nooch
Tropical Garden in Najomtien and the Silverlake Vineyard south of
Pattaya.
