Grand Opening at the Father Ray Foundation

Primary fundraisers are Ronnie Ryan and Mick Ramshaw from The Bunker Bar, Pattaya’s foremost postgolf hostelry. They were admirably aided and abetted by William Macey and the Pattaya Sports Club. At the opening Ronnie was invited to kick the frst ball across the new Sports area into the goal. Ronnie Ryan was the original volunteer football coach at the Father Ray Foundation Drop In Center in Thepprasit Road opposite Soi 15 and it is largely due to his persistence that this magnifcent sports area has been built.

The multi-purpose area can be used for many other physical activities besides football and on the opening day the good hearted fundraisers were treated to a Volley Ball match before enjoying dinner with the students.

Next major project at Father Ray Foundation Outreach and Drop-In Center is the building of a Half Way House which will cost over 1.1 million baht. The money has been donated by the ‘Danish Foundation for Pattaya’. The building will be completed by the end of this summer and can accommodate six street kids, classrooms and a computer room.

The Father Ray Foundation is caring for 850 abused, disabled abandoned and isolated children all of whom need shelter, food, clothing, healthcare and education. To support the Father Ray Foundation please visit their website at www.frray.org/donate or call 038 716 628 for more information.
