Christmas Donation Visits 2015

[Evil Penevil 7,628]

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Santa Claus will be heading to the Camillian Social Center in Rayong on Dec. 22 and anyone who wants to join the is welcome to do so. The Camillan Center does a fantastic job in caring for 80 orphan and rejected children living with HIV/AIDS and this is a good opportunity for visitors to Pattaya to show their support.

 

What or how much you donate is up to you. I don't get involved in that side of things. After the flooding in October, the Center's biggest need is for cash donations, but if you prefer, donations of foodstuffs and other supplies, they will be gladly accepted. And the kids are always happy to get small gifts of toys and candy, but Santa already has that angle pretty well covered. Cash donations are made in private directly to a member of the Center's staff. It's you business and your business alone how much or little you donate. You'll be given a receipt that is accepted by tax authorities in most countries as proof of donation, as the Camillian Center is a registered and transparent charitable organization.

 

This will be the third year I'm visiting the Center. Everyone who's been along agrees it's a very positive experience to see the kids who've been dealt a very bad hand in the game of life enjoying themselves. The Thai GFs/wives who've accompanied BMs have been among the most enthusiastic about the visits, as it's fun for them and a way to make merit. It's also a very meaningful way to kick off the holiday celebrations that will follow.

 

The nitty-gritty: The Center will provide transport to/from Rayong for those who need it. We'll gather at a point on Walking Street at 3.00 pm. and be back in Pattaya between 7.00 and 8.00 pm, depending on traffic. Of course, if you have your wheels and prefer to go on your own, you're perfectly welcome to do so.

 

Drop me a PM if you want to join or have questions.

 

Merry Christmas!

This was an enthusiastic and generous group of Pattaya Talk members. I blurred the faces as I don't know if they want their pics on the board.

For those who have messaged me about making a donation from outside Thailand, please take a look at the Web site of the Camillian Social Center. On the left side of the page, towards the bottom, you'll see a place to click for donations via PayPal. For severfal reasons, it's not a good idea for me to collect any cash money to pass on as a donation. In the eyes of the Thai authorities, there's a big difference between inviting people to accompany me to an institution and soliciting cash donations.

Don't forget to invite Harry.

Don't forget to invite Harry.

 

If HB turns up at Pattaya Orphanage, I think we'd see some very unChristian-like behavior from the staff. They are not at all happy he keeps trying to link the Orphanage with his various scams.

But for Harry and all those who sail with him, I am definitely:

Just a reminder- it's not too late to join the visit to the Camillian Center on Dec. 22, departing WS at 3.00 pm. If you're in town, it's a great way to start the holidays. Send me a PM and I'll get back to you with the details.
