Thirty-five underprivileged Nongprue students received scholarships to keep them in school and to encourage them to become self-sufficient.
Mayor Mai Chaiyanit handed out the 52,756 baht in stipends, which were funded by the sub-district, the Pak Ping Kum Pai Foundation and Pattaya Street Kids project.
Mai urged the youths to study HM the late King’s “sufficiency economy” philosophy to improve their lives by doing such things as planting vegetables and learning to create handicrafts or unique local foods to sell for extra income.
