Australian expat donates van to Pattaya children’s home (video)
A generous act of kindness took place in Pattaya as an Australian expat donated a 2024 Toyota Commuter 15-passenger van to Baan Jing Jai, a local children’s home.
The vehicle, valued at 1.3 million baht, was gifted in memory of the Australian, Daryl Evans’ late wife, Tuanjai Naksale, and is intended to support the welfare of children in need. This meaningful contribution was made in collaboration with the Pattaya Sports Club, reflecting a shared commitment to uplifting the community.
The van will serve as a crucial resource for Baan Jing Jai, facilitating transportation for children’s educational and recreational activities while also meeting the daily logistical needs of the home.
Daryl expressed his dedication to the cause.
“This donation is our way of ensuring these children have safe and reliable transportation.”
The Pattaya Sports Club, a well-known charitable organisation in Thailand, was instrumental in coordinating this donation. Established in 1979, the club engages expatriates through sports and social activities, using these platforms to raise funds for local schools, hospitals, and other essential services in the Pattaya area.
Their involvement in this initiative underscores their ongoing mission to support the community and nurture the next generation.
Daryl’s donation highlights the impactful role expatriates can play in the region, illustrating that philanthropy transcends cultural and national boundaries. He hopes that this gesture will inspire others to contribute to those in need, fostering compassion and unity within the community.
The Pattaya Sports Club continues to make significant contributions through various charitable events, aiming to create a positive impact in Pattaya and its surrounding areas. Through their efforts, they demonstrate a strong commitment to supporting vital community organizations and promoting a spirit of giving, reported Pattaya News.
