The Health Promotion Fund will finance 600 projects to promote good health

The Office of the Health Promotion Fund invites youths aged 12-18 to apply for funding totalling 6 million baht for implementation of projects to promote good health.

Ngamjit Chantarasathit (งามจิตต์ จันทรสาธิต), a director in charge of fund allocations, said each project, to be carried out as part of the celebrations of the 60th anniversary of His Majesty the King’s ascension to the throne, must involve activities concerning health, the environment, food and social welfare.

Mrs. Ngamjit said the fund will be provided to 600 projects, or 10,000 baht for each of them. So far, 172 projects have been approved, she said, adding that applications will be accepted until June 30.

12-18 seems rather young to be implementing this initiative,

good though it is.
