Thanulux Public

The Company is committed to developing the quality of communal societies in order to ensure a contented and sustainable co-existence between the Company and communities. In 2010, the Company organized the following public interest activities. 1. The occurrence of severe flooding was one of the worst natural disasters in our history. This natural disaster caused suffering for the Thai people in many provinces and led to losses of lives, properties and ways of living. Thanulux Pcl., in collaboration with its executive officers and employees, donated funds and essential items and consumables as preliminary alleviation for those people's sufferings. The contributions were made through Khun Kwankaew Watcharothai, on behalf of the Rajaprajanugroh Foundation under the Royal Patronage, in the amount of Baht 100,000, and through the Thai Red Cross Society in the amount of Baht 25,000 on 30th November 2010. 2. A community development centre called the "Bualuang Community Pre-School Child Centre" was established in Yannawa District, Bangkok. The centre provides care for infants on behalf of parents burdened by occupations out of their homes, and provides opportunities for the development of those children's knowledge and competencies into a desirable younger generation. The centre currently undertakes the care of approximately 50 children. The Company provided funding for repairs and renovations to the centre's roof as well as other facilities, viz. fans, educational equipment, consumable and non-consumable goods in the amount of Baht 68,000. A presentation ceremony was held on 18th October 2010. 3. The Company donated the sum of Baht 1,000,000 in contribution to the fund for construction of the Bhumisirimangkhlanusorn Building, King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, together with medical equipment.
