Support for areas affected by the Sumatran earthquake
Yokorei has made monetary donations to the government of Thailand to help in the country's relief and recovery efforts for areas affected by tsunami caused the Sumatran earthquake that occurred in December 2004. Some of the donation funds were used to rebuild an elementary school in Krabi (Southern Thailand) that was destroyed by tsunami.
Support for Thailand's Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment
In March 2010, Yokorei donated 1 million baht to Thailand's Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment to support its environmental conservation activities.
