As part of its efforts to support local people in
need, on 1 March 2023, the ASEAN Committee in Prague (ACP) made a donation of
food and non-food items to the Czech Federation of Food Banks. During the
event, H.E. Ms. Phasporn Sangasubana, the Thai Ambassador to the Czech Republic
and the current rotating chair of the ACP expressed the willingness of the ACP
to work with the Food Banks to help those in most need. Furthermore, Her
Excellency Ambassador wished that the ACP's charitable efforts will continue
for many more years.
The CEO of the Czech Federation of Food Banks, Ms.
Veronika Lachova, praised the ACP's continuous contribution and noted that over
time, donations from embassies of the ASEAN Member States have developed into a
meaningful activity. The donation, which consists of both food and non-food
goods, will be given out to those in need throughout the Czech Republic, especially
single parents, children, and underprivileged families.
The ACP's donation to the Czech Federation of Food
Banks is an outstanding illustration of how countries and organisations may
work together to support local communities. It emphasises the significance of
collaboration and the need for international cooperation in addressing the
current challenges facing our world today.
