The Rotary Club of Royal Hua Hin has been proud to have a close relationship with the Rotaractors at local universities mainly through the efforts of our club’s youth services chair Benjamas Uamsa-Ard. In 2013 our club sponsored the Rotaract club of Webster University of Thailand, and in 2016 we added Stamford International University. Sadly in 2021 Webster University withdrew its campuses from Thailand, and Covid-19 meant that many of the Rotaractors activities were curtailed.

Rotary International celebrates globally world Polio day on the 24th October every year. Pakistan and Afghanistan are the only two countries left in the world that have a small number of cases of wild Polio. The eradication of the disease is getting closer. To commemorate this special Rotary day the Rotary club of Hua Hin organised a blood bank day at the Red Cross clinic in Hua Hin where around 50 people donated blood. The Rotary Club of Royal Hua Hin and the Rotaractor's of Rajamangala University were invited to support the day.

Whilst considering what project to do for World Polio Day Past President Napa who is also our Service Projects Chair had spoken with Hua Hin Hospital and was told that although those in quarantine were fed, they craved some of the comfort foods such as snacks and hot drinks during their quarantine. It was agreed that the Rotary Club of Royal Hua Hin would donate 120 bags of goodies to help make their stay a little more less challenging, and this would be our clubs project to commemorate World Polio Day. Although World Polio Day is officially on the 24th October, the 22nd October was chosen as another joint project will happen on the 24th.

The Rotaractors from Stamford International University were unable to join the Rotary Club of Royal Hua Hin (RCRHH) when they donated 2000 bottles to Cha-Am hospital on the 6th October due to the students sitting their exams. However not to be outdone the Rotaractors led by President Jarukit Wongthongbang (Kau) donated 2,500 bottles of water to sponsor the vaccination day at Cha Am Hospital on Friday 8th October. Donations amounting to 3,000 Thai Baht were received from the Stamford International University staff and Alumni to help the Rotaract club complete this project. President Kau was joined by Anand Singh and of course Rotarian Benjamas Uamsa-Ard the Youth Services chair of the RCRHH.

Even though it is still the rainy season and we have witnessed excessive rain recently with water, water everywhere this is not the case at Cha-Am hospital where they have run out of bottled drinking water. Over the last few months Prachuab Khiri Khan, Phetchaburi and other provinces have been actively increasing the number of vaccinations provided to the people of the local municipalities to enable the recovery process of getting tourism back to Thailand and allowing businesses to open to stimulate the much-needed growth in local economies. It recently came to the attention of Past President (PP) Napa Keawtem and Rotarian Benjamas Uamsa-Ard that Cha Am hospital was really struggling to provide welfare in the form of water for people waiting to be vaccinated.

With our 2021 Annual Rotary Classic only 8 weeks away we have had to make a difficult decision. Although we have been in full planning mode, behind the scenes, we feel that given the current situation and the unlikely major improvement in Covid cases, in the short term, that the prudent action to safeguard our golfing friends and sponsors is to cancel this year’s event.

August 2021 saw the start of another lockdown here in Prachuap Khiri Khan and Cha-am, which involved the closure of most businesses and sporting activities including golf courses. So, what do golfers do when they cannot play golf, well for some members of the Lake View Golfers Society who play golf at the Imperial Lake View Golf Club when asked to donate the cost of a round of golf to help support the purchase of food and other essential items for the Mercy House Foundation, a children’s home in Pranburi, the golfers not only opened their hearts but their wallets to support this cause.

Proof, if ever it were needed that Rotary really can help save life. Two years ago the Rotary Club of Royal Hua Hin embarked on a project to have produced and sell ‘aspirin capsules’. These are a small container, available in different colours that can be put onto a key ring or lanyard unobtrusively, but inside is a single aspirin, to be used in the event of a possible heart attack. One hopes these will never be used, and the capsule can even be forgotten languishing on the key ring. However, you never know!

For the past 114 years, Rotary members have been addressing challenges around the world, and for the last nine years the Rotary Club of Royal Hua Hin has been doing its bit and working to the same ends in Thailand. Rotary links 1.2 million members around the globe to form a community service organisation of international scope. It started with the vision of one man — Paul Harris. The Chicago attorney formed the Rotary Club of Chicago on 23 February 1905, so professionals with diverse backgrounds could exchange ideas, form meaningful, lifelong friendships, and give back to their communities.

RCRHH sponsored a two-day English Camp for students at Nongkhon School in Hua Hin. On Friday 16th Rotarators from Webster University conducted the teaching sessions with a total of 120 grade 4-6 students and made the lessons and presentations very interactive and interesting in a way the students could grasp easily. Lunch was provided by RCRHH and served personally by members who had attended. Day two of the camp on Saturday 17th was delivered by teachers and Rotaractors from Stamford University to the same students, using slightly different techniques to keep the children interested, and who by now were becoming quite proficient in grasping basic complexities of learning English. Once again lunch was provided and served by Rotarians from RCRHH. Both days were very successful and a survey conduced with the students at the end of the two days provided a positive result and showed they would like to have more of these types of events.

Bea Baumann, Days for GirlsOn January 30, Bea Baumann accompanied by her husband Samuel came along to give an update on a recent presentation she had made about the charity Days for Girls, in which she is heavily involved. Bea recapped by explaining that due to poverty, ignorance or cultural obstacles many young women were forced to stop attending school once they began menstruating. They could be abused or ostracised as a result of this and in some cases never returned to any form of education. The charity not only assisted with sex education and personal empowerment among these girls but also provided re-useable sanitary towels to enable them to continue attending school.
