During the last weeks HHNFT and the Regent’s School Pattaya have revived their cooperation. For two weeks, from Monday, 6th of December, until Friday, 16th, HHNFT was present at the Christmas Bazaar which the school had organized. What is more, a group of students from the Regent’s school came to the Pattaya Orphanage for a visit.

The 9th of December, 2011, was a very special day for all the 54 children of the CPDC.

Thirteen children from 3 different football clubs in Germany together with 6 tutors have spent more than one week in Thailand visiting all HHNFT-projects.
