According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), approximately 4.6 billion people globally still lack access to healthcare, and 2.1 billion of those people lack access due to financial problems. This is an issue that CubeCare, a community engagement club that aims to improve well-being by donating medical equipment to underprivileged communities, plans to address.

In School Events

In this academic year, we have had multiple events, some of which were fundraisers. For example, in mid-November to early December, we had Social and Economic week, where we sold food and drinks to raise funds. Additionally, we also sold drinks and smoothies during Fun Day. In total, so far, we have raised an estimated amount of 17 thousand THB!

Our Accomplishments this year

On 23rd October, CubeCare donated THB 30,000 to Na Wang Hospital in Nong Bua Lamphu province to help fund a tonometer, a device used to measure intraocular pressure- the pressure inside an eye. Tonometers can be used during eye exams or to screen or monitor glaucoma (eye diseases that can cause vision damage due to high intraocular pressure). Furthermore, we were also fortunate enough to be able to visit the hospital, learn how they operate, and see the different facilities, including the room with the tonometer we helped fund.      

Moreover, on 3rd March, we had the opportunity to visit the Camillian Home for disabled children, where we donated two air purifiers and three months’ worth of saline and medicine as requested by them. During the trip, we also had an activity where we created pollution catchers using paper plates and vaseline, where thechildren were able to draw and personalise each one. This was done to allow the children to see pollution levels in different locations and understand the severity of the air quality in their surroundings.

Plans For The Future

For the rest of this academic year, as well as the next, we plan to do many more in-school activities to hopefully raise awareness about our cause, as well as raise money to be able to fund more donations and trips to underprivileged areas and communities. We would also like to grow as a club, whether it is by getting new members (especially younger ones) or getting more people to learn about our club and our cause.
