QueeQueeQueeQueeQueennnnn'''''s work touches alls work touches alls work touches alls work touches alls work touches allSINCE she became Queen of Thailand 61years ago, she has shared the same concernfor the welfare of the people as His Majestythe King and travelled the length and breadthof the Kingdom in an effort to meet the peo-ple, learn of their needs and find out howbest to help them.

Towards this end, Queen Sirikit has initi-ated several projects – the most importantbeing the Foundation for the Promotion ofSupplementary Occupation and RelatedTechniques (SUPPORT), which was estab-lished on 21 July 1976.

Its aim is to help rural families earn addi-tional income by providing financial assist-ance and expert guidance at no cost to crafts-men all over Thailand. The Queen also setup two main multi-craft training centres, inthe compound of Chitralada Palace in Bang-kok and in Bangsai, Ayutthaya. She has takena role in promoting these crafts both throughher trip abroad and by using them person-ally.

But it does not stop at just handicrafts.Wherever she travels, a mobile team of vol-unteer doctors accompanies the Queen toprovide free medical check-ups, to advisepeople on health issues, to treat the sick andto dispense much needed medications tothose who can ill afford them.

Her Majesty also shows continuous con-cern for educational opportunities of chil-dren in remote areas and always works withan aim to enable illiterate people in rural ar-eas to read and write.

She set up the “Foundation for Support-ing Non-affordable Students” in 1963 withthe money from her own privy purse anddonations from the public. This had enabledthem to finish compulsory education orhigher.

Queen Sirikit’s humanitarian work is wi-dely known and internationally recognisedtoday, as is manifested by various awardsinternationally.

Besides people’s welfare, she is alsoconcerned about the promotion and improve-

ment of environmental conditions and hadinitiated several projects that achieved re-markable success.

These activities are praised by worldwideconservationists.

Other interesting projects of HM QueenSirikit include Pa Rak Nam (Forest Preserv-ing Water) Project which is aimed at protect-ing watersheds, reviving deforested areas byplanting new trees, developing the villagesand improving the villagers’ way of life, andpromoting an efficient agricultural manage-ment among them.

The Queen’s Ban Lek Nai Pa Yai Project(Little Houses in the Big Forest) was organ-

ized to protect fertile forests from being de-stroyed, to revive the destroyed forests byplanting trees, and to improve the livelihoodof the villagers who live in the forests of di-saster.

In view of the exemplary role of HerMajesty as a mother, the government decidedin 1976 to designate the birthday of QueenSirikit on August 12 as National Mothers’Day of Thailand. It is indeed a most befit-ting tribute to the most beloved mother ofthe land.

On the occasion of Her Majesty’s birth-day, we wish Her Majesty Happy Birthdayand Long Live the Queen.
