Commitment to Our Community By Kulvadee Siribhadra, Director of the Foundation Board Office

esides its leading role in international school education in Bangkok, our school has also long been recognised for its strong commitment to community service. The many community projects at school through the activities of teachers and students illustrate the many ways we try to be respectful contributors to the local community. Our Foundation Board is another vehicle through which our school shares this commitment to support the community, both here in Bang Na and the larger community beyond. Every year the Foundation Board donates used assets and money to support and foster the education of underprivileged children and activities of other communities. The Foundation determines where the needs are and then donates good condition used computers, educational equipment, furniture and fittings. These destinations range from temple schools to government schools, government agencies to non-profit organisations. In 2019, the Board donated 460 used computers to 18 schools, 12 government agencies and three non-profits around the country. Other used asset donations including educational equipment, furniture, fittings and books were given to 16 schools and government organisations across Thailand. In addition to these annual donations, in 2005 the Foundation Board helped established the Pongploy Novice School in Bang Na in conjunction with Wat Pongploy. Wat Pongploy is the only temple in Soi LaSalle and Pongploy
