Ambassador met with representatives from the Happy Child Foundation and Family Bergqvist Foundation.

On 5 August 2024, Ambassador Arunrung Phothong Humphreys met with Mrs. Susanne Janson, Mrs. Susanne Karlfeldt and Mr. Calle Wollgård, representatives from the Happy Child Foundation and Mr. Kjell Bergqvist and Mrs. Karin Bergqvist from Family Bergqvist Foundation. The two foundations were founded after the Tsunami in 2004 to help underprivileged children in Thailand to improve their quality of life and support them with educational opportunities. Currently, the Happy Child Foundation has a home for underprivileged children in Phuket, which has been well-visited by Swedes as volunteers.

Family Bergqvist Foundation has initiated a swimming teaching project for Thai children in many provinces, as well as provided scholarships to Thai children in various areas of the country.

Ambassador Arunrung mentioned the deep relationship between the people of Thailand and Sweden and the cooperation of the Swedish civil society for the well being of Thai children. This includes the aim of both foundations to support education of Thai youth and provide them with swimming skills. The Royal Thai Embassy is ready to continue to support projects of both foundations that are beneficial to Thai children and strengthen ties between the two countries and peoples.
