"What do the last 75 years tell us? That was the question we kept asking as we wrote this book telling the story of Thailand since UNICEF began its work here in 1948. One answer is that these years reveal the extraordinary resilience, ability and determination of the Thai people. Though the nation has faced repeated disasters - from malnutrition following World War II to modern calamities like the 2004 tsunami - it has not only overcome them, but emerged stronger on the other side." From the introduction to "UNICEF Thailand: 75 Years of Commitment for Children" by Kyungsun Kim, UNICEF Representative to Thailand.
This inspiring new coffee table book captures the history of Thailand and UNICEF from 1948 through to 2023. Bursting with vivid photographs from the past and present, the book records the work of UNICEF to support the nation's progress over the last 75 years, and the many remarkable achievements Thailand has made along the way. The book features:
- true life stories of Thai children born in each of the last seven decades, exploring how their life has been shaped by the country's progress
- illustrated insights into the country's history, with a spotlight on each decade
