Over the course of the year DIAKRIT staff from each of our offices worldwide collect clothing and other supplies in support of a wonderful non-profit organization called the Kids Ark Foundation based out of Chiang Mai in Northern Thailand. Throughout the year DIAKRIT staff also work collectively to raise funds for this Foundation thanks to the donation boxes that can also be found in all of our offices.
Last year DIAKRIT staff raised 8,500 Thai Baht, a sum that was matched by the company, bringing the total donation to a little over 17,000 Baht, so our goal this year was to beat that amount. We are thrilled to announce that our staff raised a total of 21,342 Baht this year, which (with the company's support) brings thetotal amount raised to42,684 baht!
Today we were thrilled to welcome Khun Jin from the Kids Ark Foundation to the office who was invited to collect the 15 boxes, along with the cheque for 42,684 Baht, and bring them back with her to Chiang Mai.
