Pattaya temple donates 40,000 baht to aid Phetchabun school
The Chakravartin Temple, in association with local Pattaya entertainment business operators and sponsors, recently organised a heartwarming charity event for the students and teachers of Ban Khlong Takhro School from Phetchabun province.
Taking place at the Chakravartin Temple on Soi Kasetsin near Pratumnak Hill, the event was spearheaded by Amporn Kaewsaeng, the temple’s founder, and Rakphong Sutidechanai, a member of the Red Cross from Bang Lamung district.
Local business operators and sponsors joined forces to provide a delightful lunch for 40 students and teachers who were on an educational trip to the Pattaya area. Each child received 500 baht in pocket money, and a generous donation of 40,000 baht in scholarships was made to the Ban Khlong Takhro School. The school’s director, Wilaiporn Yimyao, accepted the donation on behalf of the institution.
Before the lunch, the students and teachers took the opportunity to pay their respects at the temple, seeking blessings for good fortune. The lunch menu was especially well-received, featuring a variety of dishes including pizza with various toppings, somtam, pork noodle soup, ice cream, doughnuts, popsicles, snacks, and drinks.
Amporn shared that Ban Khlong Takhro School, located in Phetchabun, is where she studied as a child. She mentioned that it is a small village boarding school with many children from poor families, whose parents are mostly farmers.
Amporn also disclosed plans to donate school uniforms, sports uniforms, and school supplies to the children in the future, adding a personal touch to the event by highlighting her connection to the school.
The charity event not only provided immediate support but also aimed to inspire hope and future opportunities for the students of Ban Khlong Takhro School, reported Pattaya News.
In related news, homeless individuals in Bangkok’s Trok Sake have been accused of reselling donated food parcels, prompting social media outcry. Reports emerged last Thursday, August 29, warning those planning to donate food to be cautious, as some homeless groups have been intercepting and reselling the food.
