Currently, nearly 1 million active Facebook Groups have been created by Thai people. For example, Help Us Read is a community of more than 11,000 volunteers and visually impaired Thais. Using text-to-audio features on their mobile devices, visually impaired members are able to “read” content that helps them in their daily lives. “Today, our community of more than 11,000 people connects visually impaired members with volunteers who are willing to be their ‘eyes’,” said Natwut. “Facebook is a platform connecting people and creating shared value,” he said, pointing to the more than 1 million Facebook Groups created by Thais.
