THE RAINBOW RUN

For the past decade, I have participated in the annual Rainbow Fun Run in Bangkok, a meaningful event aimed at raising awareness and support for individuals with special needs such as Down syndrome, autism, and ADHD. This cause holds deep personal significance for me, having grown up with a close friend who has Down syndrome. I am honoured to be an advocate for individuals whose voices often go unheard.

BEACH CLEAN UP AT MUNNORK ISLAND

In October 2021, I participated in a week-long beach cleanup initiative with my friends, working together with a dedicated team to collect and sort litter along the coastline. While acknowledging that solving this issue requires sustained effort beyond a week, I am proud to have played a role in this meaningful endeavour.

ART TEACHER | HDF Mercy Centre

At the Mercy Centre, a shelter dedicated to supporting underprivileged youth, I volunteered as an Art Teacher, collaborating with friends and shelter staff to design and lead creative workshops. We introduced hands-on activities like pop-up card making, ensuring each session was both engaging and meaningful. Beyond teaching art, I focused on building genuine connections with the children, offering companionship and mentorship.


Through this experience, I developed my organizational and leadership skills, from managing art supplies to coordinating workshops. More importantly, I hope my time there made a meaningful impact on the kids, inspiring them to explore their creativity and gain confidence in their abilities.
