Rotary Club of Bangkok joined Rotary Club of Taipei South World in its Global Grant Project, Digital Learning Bridge, in Longdong. This resort town school in the northeast of Taiwan has 12 teachers for 36 boarding students. The primary school students in this fishing village were given iPad to connect to the outside world. Not only the kids were given iPads with no string attached (off course they are wireless, Wi-Fi), Rotaracters and Rotarians guided them through remote learning in social and business subjects. Thanks for the sumptuous and grand Japanese dinner at Sun Want Hotel in Taipei was hosted by the parents of Assoc. Prof. Stephen P. Tseng, RC Taipei South World president. Though RCTSW and RC Bangkok are not sister clubs, we are related by a marital relationship: our PP Linda is Pres. Stephen's sister-in-law.
