During the meeting between the Minister of Foreign Affairs and representatives of both schools, the Foreign Minister received a positive feedback on the Foundation\u2019s initiative on the \u2018Exchange of Friendship among T- CLMV Youth Project\u2019\u2019.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs said that \u2018projects undertaken by the Foundation have received positive feedback since the beginning. Presently, the world is becoming smaller, it is necessary to teach children to be aware of what is happening around them, starting from developments in neighboring countries and expand to other countries around the world. We have to equip and train them, not only in building resilience but also to have social conscience and a sense of altruism. In the end, they should know how the world is changing and its inter-connectedness. Furthermore, the end result of the Project is to build up the quality of the next generation to have a conscience mind, able to learn and acknowledge new knowledge by themselves, have self-discipline, and be responsible for oneself, others, and the society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On this occasion, the Minister of Foreign Affairs also awarded money to support the schools\u2019 Sufficiency Economy Philosophy projects and gave teaching and learning materials, as well as sports equipments to both schools.<\/p>\n\n\n
