Taisho Pharma Opens Learning Spaces at Rayong School
Taisho Pharmaceutical opened learning spaces and renovated facilities at Ban Khao Loi School in Rayong, including a playground, vocational classroom, and sports equipment, as part of its "Taisho Go Health" community health initiative.
The laughter of children from a newly renovated playground may seem ordinary, but for Ban Khao Loi School in Rayong province, it represents the start of an opportunity space where children learn, grow, and discover their potential. Near the playground, students are planting nectar-bearing flowers to create food sources for bees and learning the relationship between nature and beekeeping—from caring for trees to processing honey into school products.
These small stories reflect how "good health" begins with everyday opportunities: learning, exercise, and spaces for children to explore and unlock their abilities. This concept underpins the CSR activities under the "Taisho Go Health" program by Taisho Pharmaceutical (Thailand) Co., Ltd., which aims to improve the quality of life for children and communities in Rayong province.
Yasumasa Iwamoto, chairman of Taisho Pharmaceutical (Thailand) Co., Ltd., said the company believes good health encompasses not just treating illness but also physical health, mental well-being, and overall quality of life. Through "Taisho Go Health," Taisho supports children, youth, and communities via education, sports, vocational skills, and public health initiatives. The company has helped develop Ban Khao Loi School by upgrading the playground, creating a vocational skills classroom, providing sports equipment and uniforms, health products, and scholarships, while also donating health equipment to the local health promotion hospital.
More than 30 executives, employees, volunteers, and team members worked together to create this opportunity space, upgrading the playground, providing sports equipment, offering scholarships, and renovating the vocational skills room so children can learn and develop their abilities. The team also supported Ban Khao Loi Health Promotion Hospital by improving facilities, donating beds and equipment for bedridden patients, providing patient meals, and supplying Taisho products to strengthen healthcare capacity in the area.
For the children of Ban Khao Loi School, these changes represent more than physical improvements—they are new opportunities for learning and personal development. One student, Thawichai Prakong (nickname Tiew), a sixth-grade pupil and talented shuttlecock athlete, shared his excitement at participating in the activities. Beyond painting the vocational skills room, he received sports equipment and uniforms that will encourage physical activity and stronger health. "I was excited and had fun painting the vocational skills room. Usually I play shuttlecock and football, and with the new equipment I want to invite friends to exercise together so we all stay strong. I'm also grateful that Taisho supported our playground, sports gear, and medical supplies for the school and health promotion hospital, making our school and community a better place," he said.
