The Child Development & Protection Center in Huay Yai
District opened its new Education Center funded by donations from Hong
Kong-based CLSA Asia Pacific and the ADM Capital.
Managed by Germany’s Human Help Network and founded
by Supagon Noja, the CPDC has come a long way from its single-tent
origins, now spread out over a large lot filled with houses for orphans
and street children funded by foreign embassies, Pattaya hotels and
community groups.
Human Help Network President Ewald Dietrich flew in
from Germany for the December 18 opening of the Education Center. Prinn
Panichpakdi from CLSA and Francesco Caruso from ADM Capital Foundation
also received a warm welcome from HHN Thailand Director Radchada
Chomjinda and other supporters of the CPDC.
