This year, SerWIS club donated medical kits to the Duang Prateep and RAKS organizations. Medical Kits Donation project has the goal of providing service to the community by making and giving the medical kits and helping people to cure their illness. The medical kits contained various medical necessities including masks, hand sanitizer, betadine, ibuprofen, and more. SerWIS has been working on this project as a part of the East Asia Regional Council of Schools Global Citizenship Grant received by a former graduate. This project has been going on since 2020 but it was postponed due to the pandemic. Finally, we were able to carry out this project during the school year 2022-2023.

As the co-leader of SerWIS, I was passionate about this project. Therefore, I joined the trip to Duang Pratheep Organizations in September 2022.  Duang Prateep Foundation is an organization that leads projects in the fields of education and welfare of the elderly & slum youths. We donated the medical kits and visited the school where the youths in the organization go to. I was happy to donate the medical kits and imagine people in the organization getting help from them.  Furthermore, we packed more medical kits during 2023. With another leader Sana, I bought the missing medical necessities from the pharmacy and packed about 30 medical kits with the members. The medical kits were donated to the RAKS organization working for children and youth empowerment. Through this experience, I could strongly understand that my actions can lead to support to  community to cure illness. After pandemic, prevention from sickness has been an important issue. I hope our medical kits would contribute to the global issue positively and help many people to prevent themselves from illness. SerWIS club and I hope to continue improving the community and meet the moto of the club, giving back to local non-profit organizations.
