Siam Discovery joins up with the Yuvabadhana Foundation, Club 21 (Thailand) and Masterpiece Organiser to help disadvantaged students through the “Ruam Duay, Chuay Pan” (“Joining Together, Sharing with Each Other”) campaign, opening the Pankan: Share-rity Room at the downtown shopping mall to provide a space for creativity and inspiration.
The campaign encourages everyone to take part by supporting the Pankan: Share-rity Room shop in assembling goods to sell. All the proceeds from sales will be granted as scholarships to students at the Yuvabadhana Foundation. The campaign runs until November 15 at the shop on Siam Discovery’s on M floor. “Based on the policy of Siam Discovery – The Exploratorium, we have been emphasising the importance of providing a space to inspire, which contributes to experimentation, creation and cultivation. The campaign allows every customer to join us in sharing and giving away unwanted stuff in good condition from clothes and bags to shoes and accessories. All the donations will be on sale to turn proceeds into scholarships for disadvantaged students. The campaign is also in line with our ‘Recycle, Reuse and Reduce’ policy, which is designed to protect the environment,” said Usara Yongpiyakul, chief executive of Siam Piwat Retail Holding. “Pankan is a mechanism for creating engagement among Thais through social enterprise. It allows people to give unwanted items in good condition, which will then be put on sale at a reasonable price. It’s about turning possessions into an opportunity while providing benefits and making society better,” Thapanee Sinadyodharaks, managing director of Pankan shop, added. “The shop is destined to create engagement among people – both those who come to give away their stuff and those who come to buy. Everyone will have an opportunity to grant disadvantaged students scholarships. We plan to grant 21 scholarships during the campaign.” Among the good-hearted figures to contribute so far are Nadech Kugimiya, Yaya Urassaya, James Jirayu, James Ma, Mai-Davika, Peck-Palitchoke, and Charyl Chappuis. Products will be on sale from next Monday (September 4). For more information, call (02) 658 1000 extension 3400.
