2nd phase opening at the CPDC
August 13, 2010

It was a great celebration day as Human Help Network Foundation Thailand and all children happily welcomed many friends and benefactors at the opening ceremony of the Nursing unit, two new girls´ houses, common sala and sports court at CPDC.

We greatly appreciated that our honored guests Mr. Consul Strunk, representing the German Embassy to cut ribbon for the Nursing Unit, Mr. Hans Muller and Mr. Reiner Calmund cutting ribbons for two Girls’ Houses, Mr. William Macey representing the Pattaya Sports Club, sponsoring the sports court as well as the Diana Group Pattaya representing by Khun Sopin Thappajak sponsoring the common sala, all generously took their precious time to join the occasion.

After brief information about progress of CPDC during the past 10 months by Radchada Chomjinda, Director of HHN Foundation and reports on present residents and Drop-in Center by Supagon Noja, Director of CPDC, children from the Pattaya Orphanage, Wat Huay Yai students and CPDC present some traditional Thai dancing shows.

All the buildings opened today mean great development to CPDC.  In the near future the Nursing unit sponsored by the German embassy will not only provide all CPDC children a good health care but also allow children from the slums and nearby local area who suffer from trivial diseases to have a free access to medical treatment. Children, whose families cannot afford any medical treatment, often suffer from common diseases which may lead to serious consequences if not treated promptly. The Nursing Unit is a big progress in the concept of CPDC, our thanks to the German embassy for continued great support.

The two new Girls’ houses accommodate 16 former female street children providing them with a safe place to live and a stable environment among friends. Many thanks to the great generosity of Mr. Hans Muller and Mr. Rainer Calmund who have been supporting CPDC as well as the Pattaya Orphanage for many times.

The Sports Court which has been long expected by CPDC children will provide a nice playing area for them with lots of space to play and practice sports. The boys, already dressed up in training tricots happily joined the opening, same as the girls who are looking forward to enjoy the new playing field. Thanks to the Pattaya sports club the sport court could be installed and will in future be a significant part of the children’s life.  Sport is really an important element in order to help traumatized children to find a way back into a normal life.

The Common Sala will be a place for every member at CPDC including a place for receiving visitors. It will also provide space for office meetings and counseling services. The HHNFT/CPDC team are truly appreciated the great support by Diana Group Pattaya for this sustainable office.

Our guests and children enjoyed the nice celebration not only for these great donations but also for the supportive speeches by all our honored guests, emphasizing the importance of HHNFT/CPDC work to fight against child prostitution and human trafficking in order to help street children in need or at risk of sexual abuse. With the continued support from international benefactors our concept is made possible with the further to open a Drop-in Center in downtown Pattaya.  All members of Human Help Network Foundation Thailand as well as all children and staff members of CPDC are truly thankful to the continued kind support from people all over the world, sustaining our work and offering street children in need new perspectives and in many cases, even helping them to find a way into a new, independent life.
