Total household debt in Thailand at $306 billion in the second quarter of 2014, or 80% of GDP, is twice what it was in 2010. A assistant governor of the central bank expects sharp decline in spending rates. Low water level in dams is likely to affect the agricultural economy. The slowdown in China is lowering Thai exports. The result is a sharply slowing economy with growth expected at 1.5% for 2014.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
