Delegates from our club attended the handover ceremony for prescription eyeglasses for children at the Ban Hua Hin Municipal Demonstration School on 20 September 2024. This is our joint-project with the Hua Hin Lions Club’s “Sight First” initiative that provides free eyeglasses with vision tests and eye exams at Time Optic Hua Hin.
The eyeglasses cost THB 250 each and we donated THB 10,000 for 40 pairs of eyeglasses that were presented to the students. On the day we contributed another THB 15,000 to provide eyeglasses for an additional 60 students to be identified in Hua Hin, and Secretary PE Erik and Rotarian Hanne sponsored the ice cream for all the kids in attendance.
Special thanks to President Gee and Vice-President Jemilin and members of the Hua Hin Lions Club for organizing this great initiative for the children in our city. We were also honored by the presence of Hua Hin’s Vice-Mayor Busaba Choksuchart who presided over the ceremony. Ban Hua Hin Municipal Demonstration School is a government-funded school providing free education for over 1,000 underprivileged students in Hua Hin.
The day continued with a special fellowship lunch reunion with our long-time friends of the Rotary Club of Bangkok; Past President Chiemi, Past President Kallaya, Past President Abdullah and other esteemed members, as well as Past District Governor Hitoshi of the Rotary Club of Ageo West in RI District 2770 and fellow Rotarians visiting from Japan.
