Christmas Day 2023
The Pattaya Orphanage and Sotpattana School for the Deaf had another internal Christmas celebration this year, with six hours in the daytime dedicated to the play of children from toddler’s age and older, along with kindergartners of our Deaf School bouncing and sliding on the giant inflatable slider, as well as the refilling of their energy with lovely snacks and beverages.. For the evening, there were special guests, including 50 former residents and their family members, along with three adoptive families from Germany and Denmark, to join us in the family atmosphere. Rev. Fr. Michael Weera Phangrak lit the Christmas Tree lights to mark the opening of the party, followed by carol singing by our children and staffers, the handing of gifts to children by his deputy Rev. Francis Xavier Kritsada Sukkaphat, and a special performance from novices of the Lovers of the Cross Formation Centre in Si Racha, led by Sister Rose Sriprai Krathong. Twelve food and beverage stalls gave our participants pleasure with delicacies while fun-filled games and raffles on the stage were conducted by Khun Tam and Teacher Noo. At the same time, lucky draws on the side with 2,000 prizes caused excitements to all.. We are grateful to all the supporters with presents for children of all age groups and kindergartners of our Deaf School, as well as food and beverages.. May all of you be blessed in abundance with peace and joy at Christmas 2023, throughout the Year 2024, and all the days of your lives..
