Michael Pattarapong Srivorakul, president of the Father Ray Foundation, and Pattaya tourism advisor Rattanachai Sutidechanai kicked off the “Pha Pa” merit-making campaign with nine monks from Thepnimit Temple in Rayong chanting and praying.

Those wishing to make a tax-free donation to the blind school for supplies, food and other necessities can send funds to Siam Commercial Bank, HRH’s funds for the Blind, account no. 669-2-10787-4.

The blind school, under the patronage of Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn, has seen its income fall more than 80 percent this year as the overseas donations that kept it afloat stopped flowing, and Thailand plunged into recession.

Those wishing to make a tax-free donation to the blind school for supplies, food and other necessities can send funds to Siam Commercial Bank account 669-2-10787-4. For more information, call 038-225-4795.

Fundraising has begun to buy learning equipment and necessities for students.
