On 4 July 2025, Sukhothai Thammathirat Open University (STOU), led by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Gan Chanyawudhiwan, Acting Vice-President for Academic Services, Arts and Culture Preservation, and International Affairs, along with Asst. Prof. Dr. Worrawit Nakpan, Acting Director of the Department of International Affairs, and Mr. Chananyu Puekprom, Acting Director of the STOU Kanchanaburi Regional Academic Resources and Community Engagement Center, collectively donated unused items to Phaholpolpayuhasena Hospital in Kanchanaburi.
The donated items included cosmetics, hair styling equipment, wigs, fabric bags, paper bags, children’s face masks, and crutches. Phaholpolpayuhasena Hospital, the main hospital in Kanchanaburi Province, received the donation through Dr. Sutara Hengcharoen, a forensic physician, who accepted the items on behalf of the hospital for distribution to various departments.
This donation drive is part of the “Building Awareness for UI GreenMetric World University Rankings ” project, spearheaded by STOU’s Department of International Affairs. The initiative aims to promote the concept of efficient resource utilization and sustainable waste management by collecting reusable items. This effort not only reflects the environmental consciousness of STOU’s administrators, faculty, staff, students, alumni, and the general public who contributed to the donation, but also extends value for public benefit. Sukhothai Thammathirat Open University extends its gratitude and appreciation to everyone who supported this activity.
