Since the project has been completed, the building fully equipped and ready for use in the year the Pattaya Orphanage celebrates our 50th anniversary, Rev. Fr. Francis Xavier blessed the building with the presence of children from toddler’s age and older, as well as our staffers and our Deaf School teachers.

Thanks to all, including our contractor Veerasin Tharasin of VS-Tech Co., Ltd. who charged nothing for himself but tried to save cost, wisely use the available resources, and ensure building users enjoy the practicality.. May each and every one of you be blessed in abundance..
