PM launches ‘empowering’ chocolate café at Government House

By The Nation

 

 

Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha presided over the opening of APCD 60+Plus Bakery & Chocolate Cafe at Government House, which will provide jobs and empower the physically challenged and elderly.

 

This café is part of the government’s “leave no one behind” project in line with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities pact and will serve as a model for other such businesses.

 

APCD 60+Plus Bakery & Chocolate Café, funded by the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand and JS Vision Ltd, serves up chocolates made by disabled people using ingredients produced by Chiang Mai chocolate producer Mark Rin.

 

The premier has called on the public to support the café so it can provide the workers with a brighter future.

Judging by the picture, all the employees must be disabled. Because the only people over 60+ is the one's in suits....

And what about all the diabetics in Thailand?

Cannot help but think opening a cafe or any business in these times is doomed to failure - unless heavily subsidised by the United Nations

Fitting it was opened by the mentally challenged ????

They shouldn't eat the chocolate, should remember to take their insulin and monitor blood sugar.

 

But they could still work here. Although, AFAIK, diabetics aren't limited in career choice as much as those facing the challenges of other disabilities and medical conditions.
