Service Project Handover – Library For Literacy

Please be invited to the handover of one of our joint community service projects with the Rotary Club of Nakhon Pathom to promote literacy, reading comprehension and increase vocabulary for the children at Ban Huay Sai Ngam School at 10:30 am on Tuesday, 29 September.

As part of our club’s Library for Literacy program, we are going to deliver a new set of 160 storybooks in Thai and English language to augment the school’s library. The books were selected by the academics of Chulalongkorn University to promote literacy, increase vocabulary, and develop reader comprehension.

Ban Huay Sai Ngam School educates 157 students with support from the Bright Dawn Foundation, and is located near Nong Phlap village about 40 kilometers west of the Hua Hin city center.

“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 if you plan to attend and be sure to view the map for the location and directions to the school. We hope to see you there as we CREATE LASTING IMPACT in the spirit of Rotary!
