To me, charity shouldnt stop in your immediate community, but should spread further than that, if you’re in the position to do that. I am fortunate enough to be on holiday in Thailand and made the most of my time here to visit The Pattaya Orphanage today, which takes care of approximately 160 orphans, ranging from newborn to studying at the university level! The objectives of the Orphanage is: To provide help to orphans by accepting to bring up poor orphans and providing lodging, food and education services without limitation in race and religion; To provide families with readiness who want to adopt orphans under the child adoption law; To provide education to orphans according the their intelligence in as much as their ability to learn and to provide them with employment when they finish their education; and To cooperate with other charity organisations that work about children for public interest. They believe that education is one of the most important possessions that their children should receive, so they gradually instill in their children the perception of the importance of education from early childhood, providing learning and instructions in each group of children. The Pattaya Orphanage is a large complex, which has many buildings needed to house all their children. There is the main, original building which still houses the baby rooms, as well as a main TV room and recreation room. Other buildings include dormitories for the younger children, and small rooms for the older orphans. The original dining room became too small to fit all their children in, so a new bigger hall was built in 2000, which allows all the children to eat together. Above the dining room is a large auditorium, and it is here that special events are held, events such as the Kings and Queens Birthday and Christmas (even though most of the children are Buddhists they still give them Christmas presents). They have also had a wedding reception in this hall when one of their orphans got married! For more information about this charity, visit thepattayaorphanage.org. #MrSouthAfrica
