Brightening Lives: AU’s ‘Wall of Hope’ for Disabled Children
On June 28, 2024, Assumption University’s Faculty of Arts participated in a heartwarming initiative to celebrate His Majesty the King’s 72nd birthday anniversary. The event, known as the Wall of Hope project, was held at the Camillian Home for Children Living with Disabilities in Lat Krabang.
The project, organized by the Camillian Home, sought to provide a creative outlet for disabled children, allowing them to express themselves through art. Participants from various communities joined hands to paint murals, fostering a sense of inclusion and support for the children. The event featured a mural painting competition, enabling the children to collaborate with participants from different backgrounds and gain new skills.
Throughout the day, volunteers worked alongside the children, encouraging them to explore their creativity, develop their artistic abilities, and build self-confidence. The initiative aimed to inspire and bring joy to the children, providing them with valuable experiences that contributed to their growth and development.
The Faculty of Arts at Assumption University was delighted to be part of this meaningful project. By participating in the “Wall of Hope” project, the university demonstrated its commitment to community service and social responsibility, reflecting its dedication to making a positive impact on society.
Rev. Bro. Bancha Saenghiran, President of Assumption University, shared his thoughts on the occasion: “This project exemplifies the spirit of compassion and community service that we uphold at Assumption University. By joining hands with the Camillian Home, we not only celebrated His Majesty the King’s birthday but also spread joy and hope to those who needed it most. Let us continue to work together to create a society where everyone is valued and respected.”
The “Wall of Hope” project allowed the children at the Camillian Home to gain new experiences and learn through art. The event was a testament to the power of community and the importance of supporting those in need. Assumption University’s involvement underscored its dedication to fostering a culture of empathy and service, aligning with the celebration of His Majesty the King’s significant milestone.
