A PAWA Volunteers Social Event: Exhibition Gallery Talk & Tea at the Royal Thai Embassy (by Invitation Only)
- 12:00 am - 11:59 pm
- Hampstead Station
A couple of times a year, PAWA organises a PAWA Social for volunteers to meet, mix and get to know each other.
This May, they were invited to a special afternoon in London: an exclusive exhibition tour, followed by tea at the Thai Embassy.
First, volunteers arrived at the Royal Geographical Society to see Siam Through the Lens of John Thomson, with a gallery talk by co-curators Betty Yao and Narisa Chakrabongse.
The exhibition, which celebrates 170 years of Thailand-UK diplomatic relations, tells the story of legendary Scottish photographer and travel writer John Thomson (1837-1921) who set off for Asia in 1862.
After the exhibition talk, volunteers were invited for tea, nibbles and sweets at the Royal Thai Embassy, hosted by Madame Priabthip Krishnamra. Ambassador H.E. Mr. Nadhavathna Krishnamra stopped by to congratulate PAWA and its volunteers on their ongoing efforts.
“PAWA is honoured the Royal Thai Embassy hosted the tea,” said Stewardship Trustee Betty Yao. “It’s an acknowledgement of PAWA’s work supporting teenage girls’ education, not only in Thailand, but across Asia.”
