To our dear readers...

As we expand GenStem, an organization aimed to widen access to quality STEM education in disadvantaged communities, amidst the Covid-19 pandemic, we would like to ask for donations to support us. Prior to the second wave of Covid-19 in Thailand, we ran bimonthly workshops for children in the Khlong Toei Slum and various parts of Greater Bangkok. However, as the safety of the children we work with is our first priority, we are currently unable to provide face to face workshops.

Alternatively, we are instead sending our ‘STEMBOX’ to more than 20 schools across all 4 regions of Thailand with over 1800 students. The boxes consist of textbooks, worksheets, and science experiment kits (one of which is a solar cell kit). The ‘STEMBOX’ will encourage exploration of STEM beyond the classroom through enriching activities, promoting independent learning and bringing opportunities for increased access to the field of science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

Your donations will bring us closer to our goal of 40,000 Baht to build and send out the ‘STEMBOX’ to all 1800 students. The donations can be sent through to the SCB account 430-084491-2 under the name ‘Malissa Saengtubtim’ and ‘Theerada Chevaphatrakul’. We will be grateful for your contributions and are happy to acknowledge your donations on our website (unless you prefer otherwise).

I would like to thank you for considering the opportunity to partner with GenStem for raising funds. If you have any queries regarding our organisation, our fund management policy, or the project itself, please feel free to contact us at the email account infogenstem@gmail.com or through our webpage (https://infogenstem.wixsite.com/mysite).

Sincerely on the behalf of GenSTEM,

Chawisa Wanda Vongsuly (Song)
