Presentation Night at Oscars:
205,000 Baht for Thais4Life and Jing Jai
Jason from Brighton, singer Jo Frances
from Essex and their many friends and supporters in the UK raised £3,000
for Thais4Life to use exclusively for their ongoing work with
Bang Jing Jai Orphanage here in Pattaya.
Tuesday, July 15, 2008 saw a
Presentation Evening at Oscars, in Boyz Town, to officially hand over
these funds to Thais4Life representatives Wally Pickering and David from
Oscars.
The evening was well attended and was
hosted by fund-raising veteran Mr Norman Vernon. The line-up included
Pattaya's own inimitable Dolly John, singer Mark Edwards (could be
Peter from Oscars twin!) and Miss Jason. Sadly Jo was unable to
visit Thailand at this time.
After the show the "cheque
presentation" took place for 197,100 Baht. Further donations were
received from Tim of Panorama Pub and regular customer Harold bringing
the total figure to a fantastic 205,000 Baht.
Jason and Jo, who were in Pattaya in
March 2008, and helped to raise 15,000 baht for Jing Jai school
expenses.
A big thank you to Jason and Jo and
their friends and supporters who raised this magnificent sum of money.
