The year of the Huey Pong
The 20 th of
April 2002 was a day of celebrations at the government Institution called
Huey Pong in the Rayong area. 300 boys and girls in the age group 7 to 18
years have their home at the Institute. They are children from poor and
broken families. Children, who in some cases have been sexually or
physically abused and therefore have been removed by the police and placed
at Huey Pong.
They live in old wooden or concrete buildings, which
have not been very well repaired nor kept very clean, throughout the last
50 years.
 Some
of the most basic facilities at Huey Pong are in dire need of repair, yet
thanks to folks like those in the Rayong Ladies Circle the future for the
children who live there looks a lot brighter.
But this is about to change now.
By the initiative of the Rayong Ladies Circle welfare
team, the coordinators of this development plan for the Huey Pong
Institute, the first of many renovated buildings was opened on Saturday
the 20 th of April. The sponsor
for this first building was the BCTFN (The British Community in Thailand
Foundation for the needy).
BCTFN president Mrs. Carolyn Tarrant conducted the
opening of a building now suitable for children to live in.
The children at The Huey Pong say Thank You to the
BCTFN for caring.
 Living
conditions aren’t the best, but they are much better than from where
most these children came from.
The next opening will take place on the 4 th
of June, this time on the girls’ side of the Huey Pong. The sponsors for
these renovations are a club of Danish Women called “Margrethe Klubben”
and the Rayong Ladies Circle.
Yet another renovation is scheduled, this time the
Jesters from Pattaya have agreed to help the children, and will be
sponsoring an old wooden building on the boys’ side.
The Huey Pong still needs help, not only with donations
for more renovations, but also help like blankets, mattresses, cloths and
so on. The list is endless.
If any one should be interested in visiting or helping
the Huey Pong please contract me, Helle Rants้n, welfare coordinator
of the Rayong Ladies Circle, tel. 01 63 68 165, email [email protected]
Every baht helps.
