BAScii Student as Exemplar of Charitable Spirit Supporting Mission to Help Cataract Patients in Remote Areas 

Chulalongkorn University offers its congratulations to Miss Patcharamon Chantaravesutilert, student in the Bachelor of Arts and Science in Integrated Innovation (BAScii) program, Chulalongkorn University, and Miss Patcharamon Chantaravesutilert, student from St. Andrews International School Bangkok, on being awarded certificates and a plaque of appreciation from the People’s Eye Care Foundation for their role in supporting the mission to help cataract patients. They contributed to the cause through their participation in mobile medical unit activities in Sukhothai and Phetchabun provinces and initiating a fundraising project to support the foundation through “The Honey Bee’s Story” bakery. Their efforts successfully raised a total of 240,500 baht, a notable donation from the youngest participant in the “30 Years of Light” project. 

Chulalongkorn University and the People’s Eye Care Foundation jointly held a ceremony to present the certificates and plaques of appreciation to those who have made significant contributions to the mission to help cataract patients among vulnerable groups nationwide on May 27, 2025, at Chamchuri 10 Building.

Dr. Dolpiwat Preedawiphat, President of the People’s Eye Care Foundation, expressed his appreciation and admiration for the Chulalongkorn University students and youth who use their creativity and compassion to drive projects for society. The ability of the younger generation to transform their fieldwork experiences into inspiration and take real action reflects quality citizenship and represents a vital force for Thai society’s future. 

Prof. Dr. Suchada Sukrong, Executive Director of Chulalongkorn School of Integrated Innovation, joined in congratulating the students, remarking that “The role of students in raising funds using their creativity is an example of how academic knowledge can be integrated with social innovation, which is the heart of modern education.”

The project reflects the successful development of students into change agents who can connect knowledge with practice to solve social problems in a tangible way.
