Please be invited to the handover of one of our community service 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 children’s books in Thai language to augment the school’s library. The books were selected by the academics of Chulalongkorn University to promote literacy, increase vocabulary, and reader comprehension.

The teacher Sirpapop 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 children grades 1 to 8 with 11 teachers, and located in a remote, undeveloped region in the Nong Phlap subdistrict, about a 45-minute drive from Bluport Shopping Mall. There is no provincial electricity grid in the area but they do have intermittent solar power. The WIFI Internet connection is weak and often interrupted making online learning difficult. We are going to meet at Bluport parking garage at 10:00 and caravan to the school.

“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)

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 to UNITE FOR GOOD in the spirit of Rotary!

Please be invited to our club lunch meeting on 25 November where we welcome guest speaker Dr. Antoinette van de Water, a Dutch conservationist who will speak about the research and development activities of the Bring The Elephant Home Foundation. During her talk, Antoinette will share how their community-driven approaches in Thailand, from fieldwork to science, are shaping new models of human–elephant coexistence.

In Thailand, the focus is on Kuiburi National Park, home to more than 300 wild elephants. Antoinette and her team collaborate with farmers and rangers on practical, nature-based solutions: studying elephant behavior, community engagement, planting elephant-friendly crops, and using beehive fences to reduce human-elephant conflicts. A flagship initiative is the Tom Yum Project, where farmers grow lemongrass, galangal, and chili peppers, crops elephants avoid, and turn them into sustainable, elephant-friendly products.

About the BTEH Foundation

Founded by Dr. Antoinette, the organization is a Dutch, Thai, and South African NGO, officially registered in Hua Hin and they have spent more than 20 years working in Asia and Africa to transform human–elephant conflict into coexistence.

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 23 November.

Please be invited to the handover ceremony of new manikins for CPR training at Hua Hin Hospital on 27 November. Our club sponsored the purchase of 13 manikins to increase the hospital’s ability to conduct lifesaving CPR training for more local organizations as well as the groups of 50 children in our ongoing 3-day water safety and drowning prevention program. The hospital currently has 12 manikins and their medical professionals often teach in groups of 50 people, and our contribution brings it to 25 manikins in total, enabling two trainees per manikin.

The hospital’s aim is to be able to train more people faster by providing greater opportunity for hands-on practice on the manikins during the training sessions. The manikins are used for training basic life support skills, especially mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and chest compressions for adult and student trainees to acquire proper life-saving skills according to international standards.

For many years, the Rotary Club of Royal Hua Hin has conducted many meaningful service projects for the hospital and last year we purchased a new, fully equipped ambulance to provide state-of-the-art emergency service for our stakeholders. We look forward to continuing our relationship with the hospital for the health and well-being of our community.

Be sure to register your attendance in advance and we hope to see you there to UNITE FOR GOOD in the spirit of Rotary!
