On the occasion of our 50th anniversary, the Pattaya Orphanage organized a “Reflection on Social Dimension of Life” Project with the recent presentation of reflection issues to priests of the Diocese of Chanthaburi, and this time during a special gathering of representatives of Catholic schools, administered by religious congregations, laity, and the diocese. Seventy-six participants were administrators, teachers, and student leaders from 19 schools.  They studied with us and gained an understanding of the proposed topics and points for reflections. Any concrete ways of dissemination of the insights will be left up to each school. Thanks to all concerned, esp. Rev. Joseph Chalerm Kitmongkol, former member of our Executive Board, who joined our team of resource persons..
