Nong Yai Community Centre is open and thriving. We are running an after school English programme for the children in this needy community.
Since May 2016, we have been partnering with Mercy Pattaya to bring about change and hope for the future. Social Worker, Lhen Lhen Mortella works with families and assists them.
Initially we were holding our classes outside under the trees. Then the opportunity came up to rent a small dilapidated building within the community for a very low cost. A lot of work was required to bring the building up to a standard where we could use it for outreach. Concreting was done. Doorways were created. A toilet was added. A water pump was put in. Electricity was connected. A safe haven was created for the children to visit and learn.

After Renovations 2017
Weekly programmes include an After School English Class, Bible Study Life Group and Guitar Class. The Ban Reum Jai church are partnering with us and holding a church service there once per month. Slowly but steadily the next generation can grow towards a much better future.
The next step is to replace the leaking roof and build on a small kitchen area, so we can separate the kitchen from the toilet.
