Clean Water for school

28 “Clean Water” filtration systems were installed in rural schools, mostly in Chonburi Province. We have just approved a new school near Chantaburi. This is a really impoverished school. The children are getting sick from drinking the water. The headmaster uses much of his salary to pay for the children’s lunches. We look for an International Partner for a Matching Grant.

Cross Bay Swim

The levels of flooding in Central Thailand and Bangkok are still quite unpredictable and will remain so well into December. We have no option but to postpone the annual Cross Bay Swim scheduled for November 27^th November until early in 2012.

Disaster Fund

This year has seen many natural disasters around the world. Here in Thailand we are witnessing human suffering caused by the flooding. Enormous damage and loss of life and possessions have been experienced by hundreds of thousands of people. We have responded quickly and generously through its well supported Disaster Fund to help alleviate this suffering in Thailand and internationally.

R.O.S.E

For many years we have been co-operating with the Rotary Club of Eaglehawk in Australia to select orphans from the Father Ray Foundation and from The Pattaya Orphanage, who will stay in Australia for one year, staying with families of the Australian club. The Australian families really ‘put out the boat’ for the children. It is a marvellous opportunity for the children to learn English, and how other people live.

Fassbind Foundation

The Fassbind Foundation was formed in 1998 in remembrance of Past President Alois Fassbind who passed away 3rd August 1998. Alois was well known in Pattaya. He built the infirmary at the Banglamung Home for the aged and it was his wish that it be maintained to a good standard. He also wished for students entering the hospitality industry to be assisted with scholarships. A dinner is held each year in August to raise funds and remember Alois.
