當湯米亞(Polkrit “Art” Thomya)從泰國(3350地區)到英國(1140地區)去擔任為期一年的大使獎學金學生時，世界成了他的舞台。湯米亞在倫敦大學的皇家哈洛威學院(Royal Holloway College)就讀時，他結交了來自許多國家的朋友，協助在校區籌備了一個令人難忘的國際之夜，與地主輔導員及扶輪社員建立了關係，並幫當地慈善機構募款。
When Polkrit "Art" Thomya traveled from Thailand (District 3350) to England (District 1140) to spend a year as an Ambassadorial Scholar, the world became his stage. While studying at the University of London's Royal Holloway College, Thomya made friends from many nations, helped organize a memorable International Night on campus, built relationships with host counselors and Rotarians, and raised funds for local charities.
湯米亞回國後，這個舞台變成了他的世界。他在2002年底參加了曼谷一個搖滾歌劇萬世巨星耶穌的演出，演員來自世界各國。他是2003年「諸王之河」一劇的主要歌手，這齣戲聲光具佳，每年演出一次，述說泰國歷代國王的故事。演出的收入則作為清寒獎學金以及自閉兒童的醫療費。
Since Thomya returned home, the stage has become his world. In late 2002, he performed in a Bangkok production of the rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar, with an international cast. He was a lead singer in the 2003 staging of The River of Kings, an annual sound-and-light production telling stories of the kings of Thailand. Proceeds from the shows paid for scholarships for underprivileged students and treatment for autistic children.
湯米亞也是第一批受惠於扶輪基金的低收入國家獎學金集用基金(Scholarshi-ps Fund Pool for Low-Income Countries)的學生之一，該獎學金每年提供大約20個獎學金，根據全世界評比來頒獎。
Mindful of his ambassadorial role, Thomya has also been speaking to Thai Rotary clubs. He took part in a District 3350 conference and is scheduled to participate in the RI Convention in Brisbane, Australia.
從2001-02年度一直到2003-04年度的試辦計畫鼓勵扶輪社員們增加低收入國家獎學金候選人的教育機會。關於該計畫詳細資訊及如何捐助，請參考www.rotary.org/foundation/educational。
Thomya was a member of the first class to benefit from The Rotary Foundation's Scholarships Fund Pool for Low-Income Countries, which annually funds approximately 20 scholarships awarded on a world-competitive basis. The pilot program, which began in 2001-02 and continues through 2003-04, encourages Rotarians to increase educational opportunities for candidates from low-income countries.
