We welcome donations to the Hua Hin Golf Society Charity Fund all
year round, but our main fund raising project happens just before
Christmas each year. This Christmas was our eighth year. A golf
tournament is played during the day and a Gala Dinner is arranged in
the evening. We ask local businesses for their support to supply gifts
for prizes and for the evenings raffle. This year alone (19th December
2006) we raised 416,000 Baht.
Past Charity Fund Projects included:
A special needs school in Petchaburi which we supported for three years buying equipment for their use. Walai School, Nong Plub, Hua Hin, We supplied mosquito netting, ceiling fans, plastic mats and a megaphone, we also built a toilet block for the kindergarten children. On another occasion we supplied TV’s for the classrooms plus a computer with printer. Kaopitak School, Hua Hin. We supplied a water tank to their building so as they did not have to purchase water for the children to wash with and use in the toilets. Bangwangboad School, (Pala U Road, Hua Hin. We supplied insect screens, fans, floor covering, redecorated classrooms and we also subsidized them each month for a year for additional food at lunchtimes. We also gave them funds in order that they could build a “canteen”.
Tsunami Disaster - We funded to the amount of 150,000 Baht towards the rebuilding of school buildings in the Phuket area. La Moh School. We supplied a tiled floor, new wall tiles and toilets, cabinets, fans and uniforms for the 86 students.
Orphanage Project - Our most
recent projects are an orphanage in Pranburi, Mercy House, Khao Noi,
Pranburi. We have given financial support to the tune of 370,000 baht
to build an outbuilding which is to be used in training their children
for bakery, handicraft, hi-fi, sewing skills and computer skills etc,
this is now complete.
A single parent, who unfortunately lost her fight
against cancer on 21st February 2007 and hadn't been able to work since
November 2006, had 3 school age children to support, we donated 4 x
5000 baht towards her expenses.
Another project is a school near to Hua
