             The purposes of the Youth Volunteer Project for Learning Royal Initiatives are to promote a better understanding of the contribution of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej and the Royal Family as one of major unifying forces of the Thai society among new generations in Thailand and foreign countries. The Project offers opportunities for the foreign participants to build a network with Thai students, learn the concept of self-reliance based on His Majesty’s philosophy, Thai community’s life-style in a rural area, and gain the volunteering spirit.
