On February 23rd, 2024, Thai Club paid a visit to the Santisuk Day Care Center. This nursery school, operating in Chalongkrung, currently has up to 200 students attending. The visit was a heartwarming and enriching experience, as we were able to plan activities with the children and contribute essential supplies to support the school, including milk, snacks, and various kitchen essentials. The appreciation from the teachers and students there were palpable and filled the atmosphere with joy. 
The day at Santisuk began with an opening ceremony followed by four engaging activities planned by the Thai Club. There were 66 students present that morning, ranging from Kindergarten 1-3, and they were divided by class into 3 groups in circles. The activities were as follows: bag painting which allowed the children to unleash their creativity onto plain canvas bags, jigsaw puzzles that encouraged problem-solving and technical skills among the children, and lastly, the color scratching and origami activities entertained motor skills and interactive learning environments.
The children exhibited genuine curiosity and enthusiasm during these activities and showcased their creations at the end of our time together. It was a reminder of how small gestures can greatly influence younger learners. Following the activities, the teachers offered us a quick tour of the school which provided valuable insights into the daily routines, learning spaces, and the dedication of the teachers and staff.
Our visit to Santisuk Day Care Center was a meaningful one that highlighted the importance of collective contribution by a community coming together, and inspired commitment to making a positive impact in the lives of others. This experience emphasized compassion and unity to demonsratte that by working together, we can create a brighter future for all.
