Thai Water Charity Foundation to host concert for flood-hit schools

The Thai Foundation of Mutual Kindness is organizing a charity concert titled “Thai Spirit: Bringing Smiles Back to Schools Affected by Floods” on Saturday, September 28, 2024, from 19:00 to 22:30, as part of the Sustainability Expo.

On September 26, reports confirmed that the concert is set to take place at the SX Grand Plenary Hall in Bangkok, aimed at raising funds to restore elementary and medium-sized schools that have suffered from recent floods, ultimately allowing children in remote areas to continue their education and regain their smiles.

The 2024 flood crisis severely damaged many schools, resulting in the loss of educational materials and essential equipment, thus impeding regular classes. If not addressed promptly, this could disrupt the educational continuity for children in these affected areas.

This year, the Thai Spirit Foundation is joining forces with the Sustainability Expo 2024 to host this significant charity event featuring various popular artists and independent musicians. The entire proceeds from the concert will go directly to the restoration efforts without any deductions, allowing the schools to recover and improve. Collaborating artists include renowned names across the industry, supported by both major labels and independent artists, creating an unprecedented platform for unity and generosity.

The concert will feature performances by artists such as Kong Nuvo, Joey Phuwasit, Ice Sarunyu, Tor Saksit, Ben Chalatit, Jennifer Kim, and many more. Celebrities Willy McIntosh and Cheer Thikamporn will host the event, adding to the occasion’s charm.

The concert is set for Saturday, September 28, 2024, at the SX Grand Plenary Hall in the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center, and is open for free public viewing. The event will also be streamed live online at SX 2024 channels, encouraging donations through Bangkok Bank account number 1018815272 under the Thai Foundation of Mutual Kindness. Attendees who donate 1,000 baht on-site will receive a limited edition charity t-shirt.

Founded by 12 prominent private organizations in response to the devastating floods of 2011, the Thai Foundation of Mutual Kindness aims to help schools and those affected by natural disasters, promoting education in remote areas. Over the past 12 years, the foundation has successfully restored and supported 314 schools across the nation through 338 initiatives.
