To help address the short supply of hospital beds for Covid-19 patients, the Volunteer Club of Mahidol University International College (MUIC) organized an activity called "Box to Bed" that ran from May 5 until May 16, 2021.

The donated boxes can then be forwarded to SCG company which spearheads the campaign and recycle them into camp beds in hospitals which have numerous Covid-19 patients. It can be recalled that the sudden increase in the number of Covid-19 cases in the past two months resulted in a short supply of hospital beds.

The project was also a good way to encourage students to reduce waste in their communities.

Swimming, Cycling, and Running Toward a Quiet Mind

On August 22, 2026, I completed my first IRONMAN triathlon in Tallinn, Estonia: a 3.8 km swim, a 180 km bike ride, and a 42.2 km marathon. It took me 11 hours and 35 minutes. While one of the perks of finishing an IRONMAN is the right to brag, that isn’t the point of this post. The point is that MUIC supported me in achieving this personal goal through the 40th Anniversary Academic Changemakers Scholarship.
