Many poor families from the northeast of Thailand come to Pattaya to seek a better life. The reality for many is to earn a meagre living as street vendors or garbage collectors.
In these communities drug and alcohol abuse is common. Slum dwellings are without the benefit of house registration which is needed to access healthcare and education. The children suffer from lack of care, poor hygiene and malnutrition resulting in poor general health, stunted growth and tooth decay. Every morning from Monday to Friday the Center provides transport to enable 150 children aged between 3 and 15 years old to attend the Fountain of Life. When they arrive a nourishing breakfast is waiting for them. Then it is time for lessons and afterwards the children are singing, dancing and playing. Scholarships are available for those who wish to further their education and one day realise their dreams.
