On August 26, 2023, Assumption University's Bernadette de Lourdes School of Nursing Science (BLNS) joined forces with the Saint Gabriel’s Alumni Association, Saint Gabriel School, and Parent Association of Saint Gabriel School to orchestrate a transformative event - a mobile clinic in the heart of Ratchaburi's Banka District and Banka Kindergarten School for more than 1,200 disadvantaged community members.
Two faculty members, one staff, and twelve students from the BLNS volunteered to join these activities. The event saw the Director of Saint Gabriel School, Parada Dr. Surakit Srisarangkulwong, President of St. Gabriel's Alumni Association, join forces. The Governor of Ratchaburi Province, along with his team, added their support by contributing consumer goods for those in need.
The initiative had a dual purpose. The Saint Gabriel's Volunteer Medical Program, a collaborative effort of St. Gabriel-affiliated agencies, set up a medical service unit at the Ban Kha District Office, Ratchaburi Province. Services ranged from basic medical care and dental services to physical therapy and eye exams. Notably, children with vision issues received customized eyeglasses.
In another act of generosity, stationery, sports equipment, and essential consumer goods were donated to underserved communities. Local hospitals also received medical supplies and medicines, reinforcing healthcare accessibility. The event brought together a diverse crowd, with over a thousand attendees. Catering services ensured everyone was nourished in body and spirit, exemplifying the holistic care St. Gabriel's community stands for.
This collaboration showcased the enduring spirit of compassion and cooperation among St. Gabriel's alumni. Through this endeavor, the legacy of St. Gabriel's continued to shine, illuminating pathways of health, support, and empowerment for all.
