Emphasis was placed on alleviating the suffering of the victims and restoration of flood-hit educational institutions, particularly small schools that needed immediate assistance so that they could reopen and were capable of developing the potential of the youth. Moral support was also given to educational personnel who helped the youth fulfill their academic potential so that they would become productive citizens capable of improving Thai society in the future.
