Description (Dublin Core)
-
Scanned cover and first two pages of a pamphlet outlining the goals and efforts of The SUPPORT Foundation of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit of Thailand, of which Her Majesty was the President. Also known as "Foundation for the Promotion of Supplementary Occupations and Related Techniques of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit.” This is an item from the Esther Coopersmith travel party trip to Thailand from November 25-December 1, 2001 for the Silk Festival with Her Majesty the Queen. Travel party includes Mary McFadden. This item was likely made on behalf of Her Majesty which would make her the creator and rights holder.
Interior text states:
"The SUPPORT Foundation was founded by Her Majesty Queen Sirikit in July 1976 to alleviate the poverty and hardship endured by farmers, who comprise some 80 percent of Thailand’s population. Income derived from agriculture is totally dependent on the climate and may by adversely affected by unfavourable weather conditions, such as droughts, floods and other natural disasters. At the same time, Thailand has a rich history of beautiful arts and crafts, but this cultural heritage is disappearing rapidly because of the economic and time constraints of modern life.”
This item accompanies others in this collection that include the proposed itinerary for the trip as well as a note from Coopersmith to McFadden regarding the trip and which carried these photos. This is also the trip from which the Thai Airline sickness bags with notes written by McFadden originate. The primary purpose of the trip seems to have been diplomatic, philanthropic, and leisurely.
