From Thailand, twelve-year-old Wasuthida Ringkleun, who began learning with 51Talk in November 2024, stood out among nearly 200 participants nationwide. Inspired by her experience as a school news anchor and guided by a strong growth mindset, she practiced diligently to improve her English skills, sharing news and ideas online and preparing to speak confidently on a global stage.

At COP30, she used the image of a sea turtle trapped in a ghost net to illustrate marine plastic pollution and its long-term impact on ocean ecosystems and human health, emphasizing the need for awareness and action to protect the oceans. Representing Thailand for the first time on an international platform, Wasuthida demonstrated determination, confidence, and a commitment to contributing to a greener future.
