On 9 September 2025, Sukhothai Thammathirat Open University (STOU), led by Asst. Prof. Dr. Worrawit Nakpan, Director of the Department of International Affairas, delivered old calendars to Ms. Chanidapa Petcharak, Director of the Foundation for the Blind in Thailand Under the Royal Patronage of H.M. The Queen. These old calendars will be made into Braille desk calendars and passed on to visually impaired people to use in the following year.
On the same day, STOU also delivered full-body stockings and hard plastic cups and paper bags to the Sirindhorn National Medical Rehabilitation Institute (SNMRI). The full-body stockings will be used to mold the prosthetic socket. Plastic cups will be utilized as containers for mixing chemicals needed to manufacture prosthetic devices. Paper bags will be reused for
take-home medicine instead of plastic bags.
This donation drive is part of the “Raising Awareness for UI Green Metric World University Rankings” initiative. The project highlights the waste-sorting awareness that promotes the reuse of unused items to their full potential. This helps reduce production costs, benefits the environment, and improves their our of life.
