Winter Clothing Drive Brings Warmth to Mountain Communities

A successful winter clothing donation drive led by the Unity Concord International School INTERACT Club and Early Act Club, in collaboration with CMIRC, brought practical support and heartfelt encouragement to communities in need.

In total, 1,280 kilograms of winter clothing were delivered to Ban Rai Lo and Ban Pa Kluay in Mae Sariang, serving Karen communities, as well as to Mae Wan Noi, serving the Lisu ethnic community.

Although based in Chiang Mai, the initiative inspired generosity well beyond the province. The project also received support from a donor in Phuket, who contributed boxes of brand-new clothing for young children aged two to three. These donations were sent to UCIS and added even more warmth and care to the outreach effort.

Projects like this show how service can travel across distances when people are united by compassion. The drive was made possible by everyone who donated, packed, transported, organized, and supported the effort from beginning to end. It is a strong example of how Rotary partnerships with youth clubs can turn kindness into action in tangible, far-reaching ways.

With another delivery planned for the third week of March, this initiative continues to reflect the power of collaboration and community care.
