Fuji Xerox introduces the regional CSR campaign "Workbook: Fun to Think, Fun to Write" to support the production of educational media for over 100,000 underprivileged children across Asia-Pacific. This Project aims to produce over 100,000 books within 2023 to promote education among local communities, improve quality of life for youths and minimize the limitations to accesses of educational media.
Mr. Koji Tezuka, President of Fuji Xerox (Thailand) Co., Ltd. shared "Fuji Xerox is committed to implement our best printing technologies to benefit the development of social quality, especially youths. Therefore, we created the long-term CSR campaign "Workbook: Fun to Think, Fun to Write" to produce "Skill Enhancing Media" for over 100,000 children in Asia-Pacific countries within 2023 such as the Philippines, Thai, Vietnam and Myanmar. We joined force with NGOs, business partners and communities to take part in improvement of quality of life for children in underprivileged communities in Asia-Pacific countries. This Project will encourage the accesses to educational media so they can have a logical foundation to enhance their skills and abilities for creating the better next generations. We hope this project would inhibit the poverty cycle and promote new possibilities for children in the future as stated in our company's missions."
Mr. Sommart Bunyasunanond, Vice President of Fuji Xerox (Thailand) Co., Ltd., added "The 'Workbook: Fun to Think, Fun to Write' Project in Thailand is a joint effort by Fuji Xerox, The CCF Foundation Under the Royal Patronage of HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn (an organization with expertise in children development), Modern Film Printing Co., Ltd. ,Neo Digital Co., Ltd. and Papermate (Thailand) Co., Ltd. to produce 1,000 educational media within this year to give away to students across Thailand.
The Workbook: Fun to Think, Fun to Write Project is a CSR campaign for children across Asia-Pacific. The pioneer project took place in the Philippines in 2014. Thailand is the second country for this year. Fuji Xerox prepared skill enhancing books that are ideal for Thai children. The CCF Foundation under the Royal Patronage of HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn developed contents and printing format. The printing processes were sponsored by our partners. All books and equipment will be delivered to underprivileged children and youths from now until the end of Project in 2024. The production volume is expected to reach 100,000 units. The contents vary from country to country as demands for each local community are different. Fuji Xerox works with local NGOs who are well aware of what children need from their lack of opportunities while developing the contents based on age levels.
Mr. Sommart concluded, "Fuji Xerox is committed to run this Project in a long term with measurable results so we team with The CCF Foundation under the Royal Patronage of HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn to make sure that the distribution of these educational media would reach target groups thoroughly. We hope that they would benefit all recipients and optimize the education in local communities. The annual progresses will be reported to all communities as well as supporting partners and alliances."
Dr. Kanchada Piriyarangsan, Director of The CCF Foundation under the Royal Patronage of HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn remarked "We are delighted to learn that Fuji Xerox comes up with The 'Workbook: Fun to Think, Fun to Write' Project to produce educational media for underprivileged children. With almost 40,000 children under our patronage, we have in-depth experiences with extensive coverages through community voluntary system. We are confident that children and schools that Fuji Xerox will donate these books to would receive utmost benefits and this would promote the skill developments for their future as they would grow up to be the driving forces for Thailand."
