Community Service Project - Student Supplies

The Rotary International theme for September is “Basic Education & Literacy”

Please join us for our next community service project that is going to take place at Ban Nern Payom School on 25 September. The school teaches 50 students ages 6 to 12 with one full-time teacher and one volunteer teacher. We are going to deliver personal education supplies for each student including black and colored pencils, erasers, rulers, scissors, crayons, water colors, paper notebooks, and extra supplies for the teacher, as well as footballs, badminton equipment and dakraw kick balls with the total cost of THB 15,000. Also, 100 kg of rice for a month’s consumption is being donated by local friends of Rotary, and the elder students cook the daily meals for entire school.

The school is located in a rural area that is mostly dense jungle and undeveloped, in the mountainous region of Bueng Nakhon sub-district of Hua Hin, nearly a 90-minute drive from the Hua Hin city center on paved roads. The school and the local villagers are not connected to the electricity grid but a limited amount of solar power is in use.

Please see the map provided and we are going to meet and depart from the Bluport Shopping Mall at 9:30 am. The total time including round-trip travelling could be four hours or more.

 9:30 am. Depart Bluport Shopping Mall

11:00 am. Arrive at the school

12:00 pm. Depart from the school

This project will be discussed in our club lunch meeting on 24 September and feel free to contact President Brian for further information. We hope to see you there with the Magic of Rotary!
