Seed to SMILE project started on Queen Birthday Aug 12, 2025 and awakens a new generation of future leaders by guiding them to discover their inner seed of happiness — bridging polarities by integrating Thai SMILE methodology, King Rama IX Sufficiency Philosophy, and the IDGs framework, we nurture both leaders and forests. Each tree planted symbolizes not just carbon absorption and ecosystem restoration, but also a young leader’s inner growth, life skills, and community purpose.

ESG Well-Being Impact
E (Environmental):
16,000 trees planted → Food forest + herbal healing sanctuary + carbon credits
S (Social):
500 Green Heroes, 1,000 students & families trained → Smile leaders
G (Governance):
Creation of Happy Village Model → resilient communities (Happy & Well-Being)

Seed to SMILE is not only a Thai local project — it is a scalable model for global harmony:

  • Local roots: IDGs Asia Pacific Innovation Center Hug @ Rai Jai Yim Happiness University, Kanchanaburi, Thailand
  • Global reach: Can be replicated as Community Happiness & Forest Food Hub in schools, villages, and corporate ESG networks worldwide

IDGs Contribution: A living example of Bridging Polarities, demonstrating how inner development ignites outer systemic change

“When we plant a tree, we are planting more than wood and leaves.
 We are planting a child’s dream, a family’s hope, and a community’s smile.
Seed to SMILE grows forests that heal the planet and leaders that heal society. 
Because when hearts are well, the world becomes well.” – Kris Ruyaporn Co-Founder Asia Pacific Innovation Center Hub

Call to Action for the Summit:
“Join us in planting 1 million smiles — nurturing leaders and forests together — for a future that is good for the heart, good for us, and good for the world.”
