Opening of the 2 new boy’s houses at the Child Protection & Development Center

The Opening House ceremony was joined by our children of CPDC, some children of the Baan Jing Jai and the children of the slums as well as by some guests of honour, such as the President of the Father Ray Foundation, President and representatives of the local Rotary Clubs, the President of the Expats Club of Pattaya, representatives of the United Nations Office of Drug and Crime, President of French Club, plus many more. The festivities started at 10 am with a traditional Thai dance presented by some girls of the centre.
 
After that the director of HHNFT, Khun Radchada Chomjinda, held a short speech talking about the progress of their work and heartfully thanking the sponsor Mr. Hans G. Müller for his generosity as well as all the German supporters in general as they have been a big help all the time. She also announced the appointment of Mr. Parisorn Noja as the director of the Anti Human Trafficking  in recognition of his work and great effort in the fight against pedophilia and abuse towards children in Pattaya, while she will take over the position of the temporary acting director of the CPDC.
 
Mr. Hans Müller was called up on the podium to explain his motivation for being engaged at the CPDC with so much effort and why he had donated and sponsored the boys houses which thus requested him to be cutting the ribbons of the two new boy’s houses. Of course everybody had the chance to visit the houses and get an impression of how the children live like.   Afterwards the children presented two more dances as well as a Hula Hoop act.
 
The event ended with a great lunch including noodle soup, a rice dish, French fries as well as fresh fruits and little coconut cakes.
 
On behalf of the children and the staff of CPDC and the whole HHNFT team we would like to thank everybody who joined us on that special day. Very special thanks go to Mr. Hans G. Müller for his generous support during all the years and for sponsoring the two new houses.
