Lop Buri Plant has been cooperating with the local community and schools in supporting education. In November 2016, we gave lessons for 35 students in grades 4 and 5 at a local elementary school to raise awareness regarding the natural environment and hygiene.

A total of six lessons were given, covering five key topics of waste disposal; a survey of mosquitoes and larva; animals and insects that spread disease; nutrition and food safety; and handwashing.

Many of the materials used are specialized and difficult, however we prepared animations to help the children's understanding and devised quizzes and games to help convey the information. As a result, the children showed great interest and the school indicated that it hoped that we could plan similar activities in the future.

We believe there is still a lack of awareness and many misunderstandings concerning environmental issues and hygiene, both in the community and in schools. We hope that our efforts can play a part in spreading correct understanding of these matters.

Furthermore, we feel that such activities can help to build a good relationship between the community and the company. Moving forward, we hope to expand such activities to other schools and communities.
