Overview

The Sanithirakoses-Nagapateepa Foundation (SNF) is a legal body for five sister organisations: Thai Inter-religious Commission for Development, Santi Pracha Dhamma Institute, Wongsanit Ashram, International Networks of Engaged Buddhists and Spirit in Education Movement. Each function autonomously with its own board of directors, and with informal guidance from Ajarn Sulak when required. The board of SNF meets once a year to listen to reports from the sister organisations and discuss the policy of SNF and sister organisations. A new venture that has been started within the inner circle of SNF and is now branching out to be a new legal body of its own is Suan Ngen Mee Ma Company Limited. For information about each sister-organisation see Our Sister Organisations, or the relevant subsection for each organisation:
