Baan Unrak Children Showcase Handwoven Fashion at Mahidol University
Children from Baan Unrak Foundation participated in a fashion show at Mahidol University in Thailand on 18 August 2026, as part of “Peace Festival Week: The Spirit of Mahidol.”
Accompanied by six staff members, 35 children travelled from Sangkhlaburi, with some younger participants taking the runway for the first time.
The show featured traditional handwoven textiles from Baan Unrak’s weaving and tailoring project.
The initiative, which started in 1995, provides employment for local women, particularly single mothers, while preserving traditional Burmese weaving skills.
Older children helped care for younger participants throughout the trip, and university students assisted with preparations before the show.
