The annual charity shopping event, jointly
held by the Thai Red Cross Society and spouses of diplomats in Thailand,
returned to the Royal Paragon Hall, Siam Paragon during 1
– 2 March this year. The bazaar is under the Royal
Patronage of HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn, Executive Vice-President of
the Thai Red Cross Society, who gracefully inaugurated the opening ceremony on 1 March.
The
bazaar featured international products from over 55 countries and cultural
performances exclusively selected by representative embassies in Thailand. The
aim was to raise funds for many projects under the Thai Red Cross Society, and
ultimately, for the needy and underprivileged people in Thailand as well as to
promote local products from participating countries.
The Israeli booth,
organized by U&V
Inter-Trade Co., Ltd. showcased
dried dates, figs, prunes, yummy nuts, award winning wine and much more. The pictures below provide a glimpse of the tasty and vita-mineral-rich sundried dates from Israel.
"The
Embassy of Israel is honored to be a part of this year’s Diplomatic Red Cross
Bazaar. This bazaar truly reflects the international joint effort to provide
assistance to people in need through the auspices of the Thai Red Cross Society.” H.E. Mr. Simon Roded, Ambassador of Israel to
Thailand.
