The Rotaract Club of Payap University (RCPYU) is in the process of transition from past leadership and members to new ones. However, there are still service opportunities and projects either pending or on the horizon for the club.
BOOKS FOR REFUGEES
For this project, the club gathered English language books to be donated to children living in a local refugee camp. Collection ended November 30th. Distribution is planned for December 18, along with some clothing collected via the Winter Clothing Appeal.
RCPYU extends its thanks to all who donated books and especially a generous donation by Peter and Anne Dawson.
