Love is constant and keeps growing every day. Thai people send warm wishes to fellow Thais in the Deep South through the 11th year of “Million Gifts, Million Smiles”, presented by Central Group and the Royal Thai Army. You are cordially invited to give New Year and Children’s Day presents to children in the three southernmost provinces of Thailand and four districts in Sonkhla, such as stationery, sport equipment, dolls, and more, to spread happiness to the children and create a caring atmosphere of peace, starting today.
Ms.Busaba Chirathivat, Executive Vice President - Corporate, Central Group, said, “The situation today is vulnerable because of COVID-19 and the current political instability, but Central Group continues its mission to spread love by sending gifts to children in the Deep South. In partnership with the Royal Thai Army, Central continues the Million Gifts, Million Smiles project for the 11th year, under the concept of Endless of Love. We believe that children can grow up to be good adults if they are nurtured by those around them, and this also applies to children in the Deep South. If they are cared for, the Deep South will be filled with love and understanding, ultimately leading to unity.”
The “Million Gifts, Million Smiles” project, over the past 10 years, has sent more than 2.1 million gifts to more than 550,000 children in the Deep South, to show that even though we are in different parts of Thailand, we always care for one another. The campaign plays a small role in bringing smiles to the Deep South, leading to peace in the future.
