King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck of Bhutan personally presented a Desuup volunteer with two medals on his 41st birthday. These Desuup pins are earned by the Desuup volunteers for their voluntary service and can be worn on their uniforms.
The King was accompanied by his wife, Queen Jetsun Pema, and their elder child, Crown Prince Jigme Namgyel Wangchuck, 5.

Desuup Phub Gyem received the Druk Thuksey Representation Pin and the COVID-19 Service Pin and was personally granted these pins on Sunday.
The Desuung office wanted Phub Gyem to receive her medals on the King’s birthday and organised a small ceremony for her. The King’s presence was a surprise for everyone, but he wanted to be there in person to give her the medals after she survived a tragic accident in September of last year.
