THE KAREN IN THAILAND, A presentation by Penelope Worsley, Director of the Karen Hilltribes Trust, Thursday 25th February 2010

The Anglo-Thai Society invites members and their guests to attend an illustrated talk by Penelope Worsley, Founder and Director of The Karen Hilltribes Trust, on "The Karen in Thailand and the work of the Karen Hilltribes Trust".

This, the first in a series of joint events between the Anglo-Thai Society and Samaggi Samagom, the Thai Students Association in the UK, will take place between 6.30pm and 8.00pm on Thursday 25 February at the Samaggi  Samagom rooms (part of the Thai Embassy Office of Educational Affairs), 28 Princes Gate, London, SW7 1PT.

The venue is easily accessible by bus and underground (nearest stations are South Kensington and Knightsbridge). Princes Gate runs just behind Kensington Road, on the east side of the Royal Albert Hall. There will be no admission charge but members may wish to make a donation to the Karen Hilltribes Trust. Wine and soft drinks will be available at bar prices.

Members and their guests are encouraged to attend what promises to be a fascinating presentation about one of the largest ethnic minorities in the Kingdom of Thailand and how the work of a small, UK-based charity has grown since its foundation over 10 years ago. The Trust works in conjunction with The Foundation for Hilltribes in Thailand, of which M.R. Sukhumpan Paribatra is Honorary Chairman. More information can be found at www.karenhilltribes.org.uk

In order to facilitate seating and other arrangements, members are asked to notify their wish to attend, by email to Angela Cleary: angela@oealondon.com. Tickets will not be issued, but places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.
