The National Children’s Day in Thailand is traditionally organized on the second Saturday of the year. It largely receives a widespread attention by the public, especially most government organizations, especially the Prime Minister, and military that staged their impressive shows for the benefits of children as a contribution to the future of the nation.

In this regard, the SEAFDEC Training Department (TD) joined Thailand at its 2015 celebration of the National Children’s Day on 11 January at Pathumthani Provincial Cooperative Office, and at the Prachunlajomklao Navy Dockyard at the mouth of the Chao Phraya River.

At Pathumthani Provincial Cooperative, the TD, assisted by the Fish Marketing Organization (FMO) put on display information and game under the theme of fisheries resources conservation. A similar presentation was also put up at the Prachunlajomklao Navy Dockyard. Several groups of children, guided by their chaperons, were attracted to the TD activities.

Otherwise, TD also donated scholarship for 200 students from four primary schools in Phrasamutchedi District on 10 January 2015. The scholarship is incomes from   SEAFDEC Mini-marathon: Fisherman Run 2014 which TD organized to join celebration with the 47th SEAFDEC anniversary on 28 December 2014.
