On 30 May 2024, Akara Resources Public Company Limited led by Mr. Cherdsak Utha-aroon, General Manager – Sustainability, along with executives and employees, offered financial aid from the Village Development Fund and other resources to Wat Sattasila-at School in Khao Chet Luk Subdistrict, Thap Khlo District, Phichit Province. The storm had significantly damaged the school’s roof, forcing 69 students to relocate their studies to Sala Thammasangwet, near the temple’s crematorium.

Mrs. Sunan Phrawong, the School Director, expressed gratitude saying that “Our school suffered heavy damage, requiring 69 students to temporarily relocate. The support from Akara and the community is invaluable in restoring normalcy for our students.”

Initial damage estimates by Phichit Primary Educational Service Area 2 were over 200,000 baht. Akara and community partners have provided over 100,000 baht in emergency funds to expedite roof repairs.

Mr. Cherdsak emphasized, “We prioritize community participation and development, with 90% of our employees being local residents. When our community faces difficulties, we are committed to providing comprehensive support, because this is our home and we are one family.”
