“In this collaboration, we join hands with Panasonic Manufacturing Ayuthaya Co., Ltd.

Together, we embarked on a ‘Classroom Electrical Switches and Sockets Improvement Project’ for Ban Chang School in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya province. The school building is in disrepair, with numerous damaged electrical outlets in classrooms, posing a potential danger to students, teachers, and school personnel.
This mission involved supplying and installing 50 sets of electrical equipment, including sockets, light switches, socket masks, and 30-amp safety breakers to prevent electric shocks and leakages. The installation of these devices was handled by professional electricians. In addition, a Panasonic 2-door refrigerator, model NR-BX421BPST, with a capacity of 13.4 cubic units, was contributed for the school’s benefit. On this occasion, Ms. Piyanuch Taengsaengchan, Acting Director and representative of Ban Chang School, received the electrical equipment. Panasonic Team also organized activities to educate the students about selecting electrical equipment that meets safety standards. Additionally, 12 awards are given to students with outstanding academic results in the year 2023.
