Please be invited to the joint humanitarian service project handover for the donation of new ultrasound equipment for Singburi Hospital on 18 April. Our sponsor club, the Rotary Club of Bangkok South organized this Global Grant project through The Rotary Foundation to provide the much-needed medical equipment, and we are a contributing sponsor through our District Designated Fund, with the Rotary Club of Copenhagen as the international sponsor.

Singburi Hospital is located about two hours north of Bangkok and we will leave Hua Hin in the morning on 17 April and meet with our fellow Rotarians for fellowship in the evening. The equipment handover will take place at the hospital at 10:00 am on 18 April. We will book hotel accommodation and transportation so if you have interest to attend, please register your name and contact President Brian for further details.

We will not have a club lunch meeting on 14 April due to the Songkran holidays.

Please be invited to our club lunch meeting where we welcome Ms. Pikul of Hua Hin Expat Services for a presentation on the Long-Term Residence (LTR) Visa for expats, including an overview of the 10-year visa option, comparisons with retirement and other visa types, as well as key immigration considerations.

Registration is required and if you register and then decide that you won’t be able to attend, be sure to delete your names from the registered list on our Club Runner website by 26 April. 

We need to inform the venue of the headcount in advance and non-Rotarian friends are welcome to attend.

Sport is a powerful means by which to engage all children in activities for personal and social development and to help them achieve their full potential. From an early age, sport provides children – including the most marginalized – with the opportunity to develop their physical abilities and health, to socialize, to build leadership skills, to foster lifelong learning and to learn as well as to have fun.

Empowering children with basic education and literacy is vital for their personal development leading to greater opportunities for gainful employment as well as poverty reduction and health improvement.

“Children’s books are a powerful tool enhancing the brain development of a young child, especially their all-important language skills. Stories not only bring happiness and enjoyment, but also add new words to a child’s vocabulary, help them develop and practice their comprehension, and lay the foundation for them to understand the concept of reading.” (UNICEF Thailand, 2024)

Dress code: Rotary shirt or hat, long or short trousers
