Background
The King of Thailand Birthplace Foundation (KTBF) is a non-profit
corporation and a public charity, incorporated in 1998 in Massachusetts,
U.S.A. for the purpose of improving King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand
Square in Cambridge, Massachusetts to be worthy of His Majesty.
On November
18, 2003, the foundation installed King Bhumibol Adulyadej's Birthplace
monument at the intersection of Eliot and Bennett Street at Harvard Square in Cambridge. This monument attracts Thais and Americans to pay respect to
His Majesty the King.
Current Project
Commemorating "Thai Scholars Fellowship Fund at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health" in honor of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej and Prince Mahidol of Songkla (August 23-26, 2018)
You, your colleagues, friends and students are invited to join the upcoming event in Boston, Massachusetts and Mt. Washington, New Hampshire on August 23-26, 2018.
This event consists of 2 major activities: Symposium at Harvard Medical School in Boston, MA: Celebrating the Legacy of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej and his father, His Royal Highness Prince Mahidol of Songkla: "A Century of Progress in Public Health and Medicine in Thailand" and the Historic Plaques Dedication at Mount Washington, New Hampshire
Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health has established a 1.5 million dollar memorial fund, "Thai Scholars Fellowship Fund" to honor His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej and Prince Mahidol of Songkla. This fund was established with the cooperation of Thai Physicians Association of America (TPAA) and The King of Thailand Birthplace Foundation (KTBF) with Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Our mission is to keep Prince Mahidol and His Majesty's legacy alive and help pay forward their good deeds.
Our goal is to raise $1.5 million dollar to create a permanent endowed fund for the benefit of Thai students, doctors, nurses and public health professionals in Thailand to study at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. We will contribute to the advancement in Thailand public health and medicine.
The minimum fund requirement is $250,000. We will have 3-years to reach this goal - if we do meeting the goal within the three years, the fund is officially established in perpetuity under "Thai Scholars Fellowship Fund". If not, the funds would be converted to current use so they can be used to support global students.
We are confident that we will meet the minimum goal of this prestigious fund in August 2018 to commemorate the fund and to celebrate this event.
You will learn about the progress in Public Health and Medicine in Thailand, the history of Prince Mahidol's family and to show gratitude to Prince Mahidol and the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej. If you plan to attend the event, please fill in the registration form and submit to email: ktbf@thailink.com for us to prepare your participation.
We hope to receive your support and see you at this August event. Your participation and contribution will help make this event worthy to Prince Mahidol and His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej.
