The French speaking Rotary Club Pattaya Marina & LA Pilouterie Petanque Khao Rai organized a charity event in aid of the Human Help Network on March 14.  Children under the care of the Human Help Network Foundation Thailand (NNNFT) teamed up with members from Pattaya Marina and guests from other Rotary clubs to enjoy a great day and learn how to play petanque – a traditional French sport.

President Michel Roche of Pattaya Marina teamed up with President Rodney James Charman of Rotary Club Eastern Seaboard and Yin of HHNT to help organize the event.

After the petanque competition, the children had dinner and sang two beautiful songs for the Rotarians by way of saying thank you to them.  The fellowship Chouchroute dinner by Madame Choucroute was enjoyed by all the Rotarians.
