Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn will be named Goodwill Ambassador again by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (Unesco) for her contributions to the empowerment of minority children and the preservation of their intangible heritage.
Atthapol Sangkhawasi, permanent secretary of the Education Ministry, said the princess was first appointed Goodwill Ambassador in March 2005 by then Unesco director Sheldon Shaeffer, who recognised her decades-long work in promoting the welfare of children from ethnic and minority groups, particularly those living in remote areas.
