DESCRIPTION:Please be invited to the handover of one of our community servi
 ce projects to promote education and literacy for the children at Ban Nern
  Phayom School on 24 November. In another international joint-project with
  the Rotary Club of Aireborough\, we are going to deliver a set of 160 chi
 ldren’s books in Thai language to augment the school’s library. The bo
 oks were selected by the academics of Chulalongkorn University to promote 
 literacy\, increase vocabulary\, and reader comprehension. The teacher Sir
 papop stated\, “Our children love reading illustrated storybooks and at 
 school we have reading promotion activities where children write summaries
  of the books they have read.” It is a government school for 130 childre
 n grades 1 to 8 with 11 teachers\, and located in a remote\, undeveloped r
 egion in the Nong Phlap subdistrict\, about a 45-minute drive from Bluport
  Shopping Mall. There is no provincial electricity grid in the area but th
 ey do have intermittent solar power. The WIFI Internet connection is weak 
 and often interrupted making online learning difficult. We are going to me
 et at Bluport parking garage at 10:00 and caravan to the school. “Childr
 en’s books are a powerful tool enhancing the brain development of a youn
 g child\, especially their all-important language skills. Stories not only
  bring happiness and enjoyment\, but also add new words to a child’s voc
 abulary\, help them develop and practice their comprehension\, and lay the
  foundation for them to understand the concept of reading.” (UNICEF Thai
 land\, 2024) Register your name on CR as usual and be sure to view the map
  for the location and directions to the school. We hope to see you there t
 o UNITE FOR GOOD in the spirit of Rotary! Dress code: Smart casual with yo
