“Focus First,” created by Thai student Sophia Lohstapornpipit from Concordian International School, is building new understanding between sighted and visually impaired students.
Through the “Teach-Share-Hands-on” model in Science, Art, and Music—starting with subject lessons, followed by life experience exchanges, and ending with hands-on activities.
Not a one-time donation that passes by, but sustainable mutual learning between both sides.
Visually impaired students aren’t just aid recipients—they’re active partners with full participation in reciprocal learning.
This program aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals SDG 4 (Quality Education) and SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities).
I want to see programs like this expand to every school in our country, so all students can learn and grow together.
