180 pax joined hand-in-hand with the students and school officials of a local school along the river for a fun day of refurbishment.

The client wanted an activity that will give back to the “Thai Community” as part of their main activity in Bangkok for their annual conference in 2019.  MC Planner went through several CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility)  Programs until they selected the School Renovation Project. Once decided, MC Planner was tasked to look for a school that is not too far from the hotel where they are staying or along the Chao Phraya River where we can design other programs after the CSR Program. Once the school was also identified to do the group CSR School Renovation Project, transportation logistics and cocktails/dinner events were then designed based on the school venue. 

MC Planner also factored in the logistics for transporting 180 pax of the delegates since the CSR eventuated at the same time when the ASEAN Summit in Bangkok happened which at certain times, most of the main roads were closed off for the VIP dignitaries. This led MC Planner to arrange 10 police escorts to accompany the five coaches arranged to expedite the transfer to the school.  

As for the school venue, it consisted of two wings. The CSR activities were designed around improving the First Aid Room where a patient’s bed was placed in the room and a First Aid Cabinet was also installed. The Art Room was bare and the whole room was painted brand new while some of the old students’ art projects were placed back. Additionally, the delegates also painted new cartoon characters to further beautify the room. For The Library Room, some furniture were removed and have been replaced by a more children friendly style with a Japanese Tatami style seats and tables. Vinyl carpet was also installed. New cartoon character book shelves were also designed, painted and later installed. Older shelves were also painted to give them a new fresh look. School walkways, corridor rails and stair rails were also painted while majority of the old students’ tables and chairs were scraped using sandpapers and later on been varnished to give those fresh looks.

The students, teachers  and school administrators were present onsite to lend the delegates a helping hand, giving  the students the opportunity to interact with foreigners and understand the value of community service. 

Other gifts of love from the client include:

• Children’s books
• Patient’s bed
• 10 units of Electric Fans to be placed in the classrooms
• 6 units of  Large Factory Fans were installed in the school stadium 
• 2 new Basketball Hoops were also installed in the stadium
• Football balls were also donated to the school 

Plentiful of snacks and refreshments were served the entire time for all the students, school faculty members & administrators and the delegates while working hand-in-hand for this beautiful project.
