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..

May Fr. Raymond A. Brennan CSsR, former residents, and the relatives of our staff personnel rest in eternal peace..
Fire Drill at 5-Storey Building
The Pattaya Orphanage, by the Maintenance Department, organized a training and fire drill for new staff members with both theory and field practice on the use of fire extinguishers as well as the emergency procedures in case of fire within our compound. During a simulation of a fire incident in the 4th floor of our 5-storey building, the team also raised awareness and promoted safety measures among the dwellers and users of the building, including children with special needs at Sotpattana School for the Deaf, who joined the exercise twice. Other personnel of the orphanage helped ensure safety during the practice, esp. the use of the fire escape and along the route to the Assembly Point. Thanks to all concerned for the support and continued attentiveness in helping make our home and compound safe.
Souvenirs
During the mid-year break, school-aged kids at the Pattaya Orphanage spent some of their free time usefully and practiced their concentration by creating handmade souvenirs from small towels in the shapes of rabbits and jam rolls as gifts and remembrances for benefactors on the occasion of our 50th anniversary..
