Recession taking a toll on philanthropy, too - Nationmultimedia.com

Recession taking a toll on philanthropy, too - Nationmultimedia.com: "As for Thailand, too much money is being donated to temples. We need to consider how any endowments can be better channelled to things that are not mere concrete edifices but into intangible areas, which will enhance people's knowledge, skills and quality of life.

More incentive is needed for rich Thais to donate their money and land for altruistic causes, and the government should seriously ponder the matter. It has been proved in many prosperous societies that philanthropic work and activities are vital to ensuring a caring and cultured society."
