Chevrolet youth support programme kicks in
CHEVROLET SALES Thailand brought much cheer and fun to children in Nakhon Pathom when they donated books and 500 Chevrolet-branded One World Futbols to 25 schools within the province.
Working with its local dealership, Chevrolet Chor Erawan Nakhon Pathom, Chevrolet Thailand organised activities under the Chevrolet Play For Dreams programme with the aim of supporting Thai youth through the donation of the indestructible One World Futbals, books and educational tools. The gifts will help provide sporting skills, support reading habits and promote education in general.
Speaking at the dealership, Wail Farghaly, managing director of GM Thailand and Chevrolet Sales Thailand, said: “Play is a fundamental human activity that can inspire children and adults alike. Thanks to the support offered by Chevrolet Chor Erawan Nakhon Pathom, we are able to engage with young students today, fuelling their ingenuity and imagination for the future of Thailand”.
Chevrolet has invested in “Driving a Better Tomorrow”, another of the company’s corporate social responsibility programmes (CSR) aimed at creating smarter, healthier and safer communities.
Chevrolet has donated more than 24,000 One World Futbols in Thailand through its partnership with One World Play Project, and also spearheaded a child safety campaign, donated vehicles to vocational institutions and initiated environmental conservation projects. The overarching idea of Chevrolet’s CSR programs is to give back to the communities within which the automaker operates.
During the event in Nakhon Pathom schoolchildren were treated to a view of the new Chevrolet Colorado as Karun Khiaothongnoi and Prapas Bunpen, customers of Chevrolet Chor Erawan Nakhon Pathom, took delivery of the keys to a new pickup truck in the presence of executives from Chevrolet Sales Thailand. Many of the children crowded around the truck for photos.
Awed by the vehicle’s striking color, rugged design and sleek lines, many children went forth to pose for photographs with the truck.“We had a very successful launch of the new Colorado and have received many positive reviews from dealers, customers and the media. Today, we’re delighted to welcome Karun Khiaothongnoi and Prapas Bunpen to the Chevrolet Colorado ownership family, and through a combination of the quality of the product, connectivity and the company’s Complete Care program, we hope that they become customers for life,” Farghaly said.
