STOU also 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. Ms. Chanidapa Petcharak took this opportunity to encourage administrators, staff, students, and alumni of STOU to donate funds to support the Braille books project including the production and distribution of “Easy Happiness at the Tip of Your Nose” (in Braille) and bilingual Aesop’s fables such as “The Tortoise and the Hare” (in Braille). These books will be distributed to schools for the blind students in the project across several provinces nationwide. Additionally, the funds will support the purchase of continuous paper for producing Braille textbooks and novels.
