Dear friends and benefactors,
Another year has passed by quickly. The last months
in 2014 have been very busy, so we would like to
share some of our recent news and greatest events.
The "Love and Care" Charity Concert
This year the Pattaya Orphanage commemorates its
40th anniversary.
Therefore, we planned and organized a special charity
concert to celebrate this joyful occasion.
A generous supporter of the Pattaya Orphanage decided
to do us a big favour - Khun Suttikorn Jearpaitoon, Managing Director of Thai Alangkarn Theater Pattaya, offered
us to use his stage with full facilities.
In addition, we were more than lucky having the very popular Thai singers Joe und Kong Nuvo to perform at the
very minimum cost to give our children a great pleasure.
So after the location and the main act has already been
chosen, the children from the Pattaya Orphanage could
start practising for their big performance while the
HHNFT staff took care of selling tickets for the show.
Since we did not have to pay for the stage and were minimall charged by the famous musical actors, more than
90 percent of the proceeds could go to the children‘s
"Education Fund". So with all the guests joining our concert nearly 2 million baht were collected.
In the end, it was a stunning show which our children
from the Pattaya Orphanage, the Sotpanna School for
the Deaf and the CDPC could enjoy together with many
guests in a cheerful atmosphere.
The children joined Joe and Kong Nuvo for the last song.
A friend returned
We would like to kindly introduce our new Project Manager of our Drop-In Center.
Khun Noi (Piroon Noi-Imjai) grew up in the Pattaya Orphanage and left it for the time he was studying Social Work at the Huachiew Chalermprakiet University in
Bangkok. After his graduation he had been working with
a charity organization, Starfish Foundation, in Bangkok
for five years.
We missed our friend in Pattaya and are now truly proud
of him coming back to work as Project Manager at HHN
Drop-In Center. We are very happy that he decided to
come back to Pattaya to join our HHNFT-Team. He has
been with us over a month and especially enjoys working with our Mobile Training Unit driving to slums area
and local community to help educating children from
drugs & crime, exploitation, human trafficking and also
entertain them.
Khun Noi is the new Project Manager at the Drop-In Center.
Christmas Party
The Pattaya Orphanage, once again, invited children
from CPDC to join their lovely Christmas Party.
A big stage and many tables and chairs had been set up
outside so that we all could celebrate together in the
open air. The football field was transformed into venue
of the event.
The Pattaya Orphanage‘s Choir started the celebration
by singing Christmas Carols like ‚Jingle Bells‘ and ‚Joy to
the World‘.
Our guests enjoyed chatting with friends, watching the
shows on stage while choosing their meal at lavish buffet including fresh local fruits, Pad Thai, Noodle Soup, Sticky Rice, Fish Balls, French Fries and Coconut Cake, etc.
It would not have been a Christmas Party without handing out of presents to each child. So each of the children
was called to receive their Christmas presents on stage
and some of the guests were lucky enough to win special
presents through the Lucky Drawings. Our children from
CPDC were overjoyed when one child won one of the biggest prices, a flat screen 32” television.
Other guests did not wanted to wait for the luck to get to
them, so they took their luck into their hands by playing
a more active role through bidding. We had prepared a

Christmas Auction with many articles which were donated during the previous months by many of the Pattaya
Orphanage’s friends and benefactors.
January 2015
My role as a teacher motivates me to study more so that
in the end I can be a good teacher to the others.
It makes me happy that I have an aim to work for now.
My marks are getting better and I will keep passing on
my knowledge to the others.
Thank you CPDC for being like a big family by making me
feel loved and supported.”
Plans for the New Year
The Pattaya Orphanage celebrated Christmas with a big party on 25th December.
Articles in high demand were room, breakfast and dinner vouchers which were donated by hotels like the Royal
Cliff Hotel and the Hilton Hotel, but also for example a
hand-made tapestries and wood carved figures. Despite the competitive battle, all the bidder had a lot of fun,
cheering each other, thus creating a joyful atmosphere.
Besides, with this auction over 170,000 baht could be
raised, thus donated to the Pattaya Orphanage.
To sum it up, we all had a wonderful time together.

“I am learning agriculture. It’s the
third year in which I am studying
about how to grow plants.
Before I came to CPDC I did not
know what to do with my knowledge of agriculture.
But then my teachers and friends
at CPDC encouraged me to participate in CPDC’s farming project.
Doing so made me realize how
important it is to have someone
with good knowledge of agricultural science.
I started to teach the others at CPDC about planting and
growing plants.
We seek your help in the purchase of some nearby agricultural land to help further the work of the CPDC. Our
requirement for more land has come about because
while we can accommodate the needs of our current 65
children, 20 teachers and staff, we expect this number to
continue increasing and our existing agriculture holding
will not be able to accommodate our projected food and
farming needs in the future.
To give you some background: we were recently approached by the owner of the adjacent land to purchase a
plot of 4,000 square metres at the cost of 5 million baht
(1,250Bht a square metre). This would be an excellent
purchase for us as it would suit the long term requirements of the CPDC; so we are attempting to raise the
funds to secure this land while it is on offer. We are seeking donations starting from 1,250 Baht per square metre, however no amount is too small and we welcome any
support you could give us. With the help of our benefactors our goal is to meet the total cost of five million baht
within the next 12 months.
We have set out the full details of this intended purchase
and our goal. You can rest assured that we intend to run
this project with full accounting and auditing processes
in place and you would be kept fully abreast of how your
donation is being utilized throughout the life of the project. I send you my heartfelt gratitude for considering
this vital piece of work and May God bless you always
So as another year has passed by already, we would like
to thank you once again for your interest and your most
appreciated support through 2014.
Lastly, let me end with the words:
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2015.
