Her royal Highness Princess Somsavali recently presided over the opening of “63rd YWCA Diplomatic Charity Bazaar 2016@CentralWorld” organised by the shopping mall together with spouses of ambassadors and diplomats based in Thailand, and the Young Women's Christian Association of Bangkok. The bazaar is a much-awaited annual event, coming as it does just before the festive season and offering interesting merchandise from 43 countries at more than 200 booths. The YWCA annual events have traditionally been well received by both Thai and foreign shoppers and this year was no exception. Proceeds after expense deduction from the Bazaar will be added to the proceeds from the “YWCA Diplomatic Mini Bazaar” held early this year at Central Festival Eastville and will fund projects supporting children, women and underprivileged groups. Funding is prioritised based on the application’s submission date and the urgency of each project.
