William Macey, charity chairman of the Pattaya Sports Club, recently presented much needed sports equipment to the Pattaya School for the Blind.

Like school children around the world the blind students enjoy participating in competitive sports events. Sports such as goalball were devised especially for the blind, and this game is now an official sport at the Paralympics.

Thanks to the Pattaya Sports Club, Aurora Sribuaphan, Principal of the School for the Blind, accepted several goalballs and soccer balls, all of which have a small bell inside so that the students can hear where the ball is as opposed to being able to see it.

Professional spiked sprinting training shoes were also donated which will hopefully give the students an advantage at future athletics competitions.

The annual sports competition at the School for the Blind will take place on January 26th. All visitors are welcome to attend this event at the School which is located on Soi 16 Naklua Road.
