Block Tables

Inspired by his own children's educational experiences in the United States, Vance recognized the importance of learning through play for preschoolers and emphasized supporting their creative development. Over the years, the sale of Vance Kitira candles has helped fund donations of money, furniture, crayons, paper, and more to orphanages in his homeland. With the assistance of Living Concepts, his family's factory in Thailand, Vance developed a block table suitable for young children. The first block table was donated to Tuxedo Park School (NY) in May 2006, followed by donations to Village School in Waldwick, NJ, and an orphanage in Thailand.

To date, we have successfully installed 29 block toy tables in 19 different schools, orphanage houses, and disadvantaged children's centers across Thailand. With Vance's commitment to donate to 16 more places by November, we are confident that our goal of donating 40 Block Tables by the end of the year is within reach. This initiative brings joy and creativity to these children and fosters a supportive and enriching environment for their growth and development.
