T Siam Commercial, the distributor of Nitto tyres, says they can be turned something useful for children. Recently, its executives and more than 100 employees brought some tyres to Nong Yao School in Phetchaburi. Together, they developed a playground for the children and donated sport equipment and educational materials worth more than Bt200,000 to the school.

Apichai Tanwongsiri, managing director of the company, said the “T Siam Brings Smiles to Youngsters” project had entered its fourth year.

“We picked this school because of its long distance from the city area and obsolete education materials. We believed that if these children were happy, they could bring about good results in learning and their lives. Their laughter showed us how they liked our project,” he said.
