As part of PSC’s Charity Program throughout the year a lot of focus is on the future, so where better to go than the schools to lend support.

On behalf of the Pattaya Sports Club, PSC Charity Chairman Bernie Tuppin (kneeling) delivered 40 mattresses and bibs for the children at Wat Sawang A Rom School.

Wat Sawang A Rom School is located in a small settlement about 20 clicks from downtown Pattaya and has 107 students up to 12 years of age. A classroom was recently refurbished to take care of some 40 toddlers aged 3-5 years.

Pattaya Sport Club responded to Headmaster Somchoke’s request for help by donating the 40 mattresses and bibs required for these children. A small gesture in financial terms but greatly appreciated by the children and staff of this school. All part of PSC’s policy of keeping an eye on the little things as well as the larger needs in our community.
