The Queen and some examples of her Royal Projects
SUPPORT
The SUPPORT Foundation Shop at the Grand Palace
Ever since she became the Queen 56 years ago, Her Majesty Queen Sirikit has been a capable assistant to His Majesty King Bhumibol at diplomatic functions. She shares the same concern for the welfare of the people as His Majesty the king, and has initiated several projects of her own, primarily the Foundation for the Promotion of Supplementary Occupation and Related Techniques (SUPPORT), which was established on 21 July 1976. It aims to help rural families earn additional income by providing financial assistance and expert guidance, at no cost, to craftsmen all over Thailand, such as the weaving of yan lipao baskertry in the far South, hilltribe silver work in the North, and the weaving of mudmee silk fabric in old patterns in the Northeast.
The Queen has also set up two main multi-craft training centres. One is in the compound of Chitralada Palace in Bangkok and the other, built in 1980, is at Bangsai, Ayutthaya Province. The Queen has taken a role in promoting the crafts both through her trips abroad and by using them personally.

The Pah Rak Nam (Forest Loves Water) Project
Her Majesty the Queen’s work for the welfare of rural people does not stop at just handicrafts. She also shares the King’s passionate concern for the country’s natural resources and follows his example by giving strong support to conservation effort.
The Pah Rak Nam Project has successfully revived deteriorated forests, improved villagers’ way of life and promoted efficient agricultural management among them.

What is more, Her Majesty Queen Sirikit has a special interest in illiterate people in rural areas and continually works to teach them how to read and write. Realizing that most poor families cannot afford their children’s schooling fees, Her Majesty established the Foundation for Supporting Non-affordable Students in 1963 with money from her own Privy Purse and public donations.
The Queen’s humanitarian work is widely known and is internationally recognized, as seen by the award of the prestigious Ceres Medal by the FAO in 1979 and an Honorary Fellowship in Great Britain’s Royal College of Physicians in 1988. The honour was conferred in recognition of the Queen’s work and “deep concern for the health and welfare of the people of Thailand”.
What happened in Singapore?
An example of activities to join in the celebrations of this auspicious occasion is the Mother’s Day celebration which was held on 9 August 2009 at 10.00 a.m. at Wat Ananda Metyarama, a Thai temple in Singapore founded way back in 1923. There, attendants were invited to see several types of performances by children from the Sunday class and then join the alms-giving ceremony the temple to make merits for Her Majesty Queen Sirikit.

It continues to be true. In a time when many consistently successful magazines are downsizing, Oprah Winfrey's O magazine and Martha Stewart's home and cooking magazines are newer, highly popular publications. Thanks a lot.

Thin the glue first if you want it extra runny. Then sprinkle glitter onto the glue for shiny icicles and have kids draw a snow scene in white underneath the icicles. If you don't have glitter, white glue still dries to look like icicles, or you can tear triangle shapes from white and blue construction paper so they have jagged edges. Then glue them to the black paper. Thanks.

The Queen is the main antagonist of film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and the first Disney animated features canon villain. Determined to remain the fairest of all, the Queen becomes insanely jealous of Snow White, the only one whose beauty surpasses her own. She eventually uses dark magic to transform herself into the Witch, in a final attempt to do away with her only, unknowing rival. Thanks for sharing.
