In a heartwarming tale of ingenuity and dedication, 16-year-old Phoonseeraah (Ada) Tieanworn has turned her school holiday into a nationwide movement. Fresh from Choate Rosemary Hall in Connecticut, USA, Ada spearheaded a groundbreaking series of events aimed at empowering Thai youth with critical health knowledge. Her journey, marked by passion and innovation, has reached over 900 students across nine schools in Bangkok, all empowered with the life-changing potential of the ScolioBuddy App.
Earlier in the year 2024, Ada was selected to be a part of the CRC Coalition Thailand Board that aims to promote and operate in accordance with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). Ada was inspired by the principles of the UNCRC, which states that all children and young people should have their best interests accounted for as a primary consideration. In addition to teaching around 700 children in seven schools the “Consent Game,” which promotes the physical and mental well-being of children through teaching them the importance of critical thinking and giving/getting consent, Ada also led introductory sessions to the ScolioBuddy App and back exercises to support the health and quality of life of around 900 children in nine schools.
