The guests, who were ladies from various groups of the high society in Singapore, attended the event and donated SGD120.00 each for the above-mentioned purpose.

In her welcome speech, Mrs. Jiraporn expressed her thanks and appreciation to everyone who took the time to attend the event as well as their donations. She explained that besides fund raising, it is the priority of the Royal Thai Embassy to promote the Royal Thai Government’s “Kitchen of the World Policy” and to increase awareness and appreciation of the Thai products, such as jewelry and fashion design, in Singapore.

The activities in this event were divided into 3 parts. First was the dance performed by a girl who has been a survivor from cancer under the care of CCF, which was followed by the Fashion Show presented by 10 models in the clothings of 2 famous brands in Thailand, namely Fly Now and Chai Gold-Label.
