Hi everyone!
My name is Aim Wanglee.
I am a 15-year-old from Bangkok, Thailand but I currently study at Loomis Chaffee in the states. Aligning with my personal story, I love empowering others especially those with scars causing me to create the I'M PERFECT project. Another one of my passions is advocating for child rights through the program I thought of called Guardians of the Innocence.

Thai Nutrition Cookbook for Children with Autism
I believe that nutrition can make a real difference for children with autism by supporting their focus and overall well-being.
I consulted with Mrs. Porntip Whaiprip, a professional dietitian from the Department of Nutrition of Ramathibodi Hospital, to create Thai recipes specifically designed to support kids on the spectrum.
I've re-invented 10 healthy Thai favorites so they can be enjoyed by everyone with autism.
4. MUSHROOM DEE PROJECT
-
Taught kids in a school how to grow straw mushrooms, which are enriched in vitamin D, creating a sustainble food source for the school
5. From Former Youth Tennis Player to the Creator of Touch Tales
As a former youth tennis player, I had many old and worn-out tennis balls that were no longer usable. This inspired me to think about ways to help reduce waste and create something meaningful through recycling. From this idea, I developed an educational learning material called “Touch Tales”, or in Thai, “สัมผัสเล่าเรื่อง”
The activity works by telling children a story while using a small horse doll as a game piece that moves across different sections of a sensory mat. Each section features a unique texture, allowing children to experience hands-on learning through both touch and sound. The surfaces include small white stones, large rocks, colorful gravel, artificial grass, rubber, foil, bubble-textured material, and more.
The purpose of Touch Tales is to encourage children to gain real sensory experiences, improve their sensory recognition skills, and stimulate imagination while having fun and enjoying the storytelling activity.
I had the opportunity to demonstrate this activity to children at the Early Childhood Development Center, National Institute for Child and Family Development, Mahidol University, where the children responded very positively and enthusiastically.
As a result of creating Touch Tales, I was honored to receive recognition as a Thai inventor and researcher with outstanding international achievements. The award was presented by the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation and organized by the National Research Council of Thailand (NRCT) on August 14, 2025, at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center in Bangkok.
6. AIMSHARES x UNFPA
-
I had the wonderful opportunity to attend the UNFPA State of World Population (SWOP) report launch towards the World Population Day 2025 celebration - 'Advancing Rights and Choices for Everyone - Shaping a Sustainable Future.'
The event focused on promoting rights and choices for all people while building a sustainable future together. I also had the privilege of listening to a special keynote speech on 'Deep Dive into the 2025 World Population Report' by Ms. Sirilak Chiangwong, Country Representative of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) Thailand, held at Pullman Bangkok King Power Hotel.
7. AIMSHARES x SCHOOL
-
I had the opportunity to participate in a school event, giving an inspirational talk on the specific theme of 'Belonging.' I shared my personal reflection on the accident that caused my scars, highlighting the beauty in imperfection and emphasizing the importance of looking past our differences so that everyone can feel accepted in society. Subsequently, my story was published in the school magazine's article titled 'Puzzle Pieces' by Aim Wanglee.
8. Representing Thailand at the United Nations: ECOSOC Youth Forum 2026
I was truly honored to represent Thailand as part of the national delegation in my role as Independent Advisor to the President of the Child and Youth Council of Thailand for Special Affairs and International Relations at the ECOSOC Youth Forum 2026, held from 14–16 April 2026 at the United Nations Headquarters in New York.
This invaluable opportunity allowed me to engage in meaningful discussions and exchanges on advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with a strong emphasis on youth participation at the global level. I also had the privilege of delivering a statement and contributing to dialogues that reflect the voices and perspectives of young people.
In addition, I joined several side events, where I was able to share knowledge, gain new insights, and build connections with youth representatives from around the world—strengthening international collaboration toward a more sustainable and inclusive future.
