At 60,000 sq metres ( 1.2 kilometers long by 50 metres wide ) FE's "Hope For Children" Banner made history on 7th November 2009 at Siripa Chutaporn Airport, Khaeng Khay District, Saraburi Province, by being the World's Largest and Longest Banner ! It was a proud moment for FE to unveil this World Record Banner to the world after many months of planning and execution. With this world record, FE would like to draw the world's attention to the challenges faced by all the poor and needy children of this world, namely lack of food and water, lack of healthcare, lack of education and lack of laws against exploitation of children. With "Hope For Children" we aim to help as many poor and needy children as possible, hence our slogan " Let's Give Our Future Leaders A Good Start! "

The grand event at Siripa Chutaporn Airport was attended by around 5000 FE Members, invited guests, FE Founder CEO Paul Ting, Founder Director KS Lee, VIPs including General Dato Kitti Rattanachaya, Prof. Police General Dr. Darun Sotthibandhu, Dr Sombat Madhanee PhD., H.E.Grp. Captain Veeraayuth Dithyasarin, Surachai Sombatcharoen, Rit Loucha, Celebrities and FE Leaders from many countries. It was covered by many press and media from Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia and Hungary. Journalists representing CNN and Reuters also attended. There were performances by local and overseas Celebrities, including Stella Ignatio and Clark Gamul, golf displays by FE Spokespersons Jean Daniels and Natasha Oon, performances by the Royal Thai Navy Band, parachute jumping show, paramotor show and the release of 2,000 balloons. There were 2 helicopters to ferry VIPs to and fro the airport. The helicopters also took around 200 guests and reporters up to view the world record banner from the air. It was exciting for many of the guests who have never been in a helicopter before!  Certificates of appreciation were presented by General Kitti Rattanachaya to the various consultants and staff who helped to make the event a great success. Mock cheques of Baht 80,000 were also presented to the representatives of the local schools in Sarburi for children activities.
