Thai International School (TIS) donated 32,000 Baht to the Willpower Institute Foundation to support the foundation’s meditation instruction. This was the second donation TIS has made to the foundation. The Meditation for Children Program (MCP) teaching team has conducted monthly reviews of the meditation instruction at TIS. In 2022, all TIS students completed the Meditation for Mind Power Development course under MCP.

To enable students to practice meditation continuously for the benefit of children’s intellectual development, TIS incorporated meditation into its school policy, and foreign teachers at TIS have been able to guide students in meditation themselves since then. As a result, the entire school has been practicing meditation together every Thursday.
