Acer Thailand’s HR team received a heartfelt recommendation from its employees about Ban Sri Pan School, a poor school situated in Lampoon Province, part of the North Region of Thailand. This school has 150 students and 12 teachers. The average age of the students is 9 years old and 97% of them from underprivileged families. Among the parents, 3% are from the Burmese minority group, and most of them make a living as gardeners.           
 

The HR team contacted the school director to understand the needs of Ban Sri Pan School. They needed to improve their computer room for better IT education. Also, they needed to upgrade their water system to provide clean drinking water for the students.          
 

For two months, the HR team communicated the school’s needs to its employees, requesting for their generous donations and organizing a Bingo game to raise funds, which resulted in a collection of more than USD 1,000. Acer Thailand showed its support by adding to the donation for a combined total of USD 2,600. Furthermore, Acer Thailand contributed six All-in-One (AIO) computers, a projector, and various office equipment, all intended to enhance the educational efforts of the school.        
 

 

 

 

"Acer’s mission is breaking barriers between people and technology, especially for schools in remote areas where the resource is limited. To minimize the digital divide, Acer Thailand assist these students to connect to the world for their future continuously without any hesitation."

“We know you have a lot of choices when it comes to donating, and we are so grateful that you chose our school. Acer computer plays a big part for developing our school and students."

On October 7, 2022, a group of nine employees from Acer Thailand visited the school, which included the HR director, branch manager of Chiangmai office, and seven other employees. All participants expressed their joy and satisfaction in seeing how Acer is helping them in contributing positively to society.

With the combined efforts of Acer Thailand and its employees, it is hoped that these contributions will have a meaningful and positive impact on the educational experience of the students at Ban Sri Pan School, and Acer remains committed to supporting causes that promote education and digital inclusion for all.
