How and where your donations helped in 2006

The Jesters ‘Care for Kids’ Charity Drive 2007 is well underway, however let's take a look at how we all helped the kids in need through last year.

Due to your gracious support last year, we were able to raise over 6 million baht for children’s charities on the Eastern Seaboard, as well as tsunami orphans schools and affected schools in the south. We would like to thank you very much once again

To date (Feb 07) just over 5.84 million baht of your donations has been distributed to our beneficiaries as per below:

Pattaya Redemptorist School for the Blind in Naklua: (409, 000 baht):
This is a perennial beneficiary of ours and this past year we supplied furniture and appliances for their recently built Father Ray Home (independent living project) and also bunk beds and bedding material for all students.

Ban Jing Jai in Nong Prue: (663,000 baht + 170,000 from JCD 2005):
 This small orphanage has been a main focus of ours since last year. We have already carried out extensive repair and renovation to the 3 houses and will continue to do more.

Happiness Camp: (100,000 baht)
We continue to sponsor these special sessions which focus on learning and teaching techniques, communication skills, creativity and inspiring self-confidence. This past year we funded two camps for 40 teachers and 120 students from Koh Larn government school.

RAYONG PROVINCE SCHOOLS:  (753,030 baht)
The constructions of new toilets were done at two schools in Rayong province: Mapchaloud School in Maptaphut and Nikom #9 School, west of Ban Chang.

Crisis/Emergency: (300,000 baht)
Two secondary students waiting for a bus in front of Muang Pattaya #7 School were badly injured by a hit and run driver. Both sustained critical head trauma.  We covered ICU costs at Pattaya Bangkok Hospital until they were out of danger and recovered sufficiently to be transferred to a local hospital. Both are back in school and doing well.

The Next Step Program: (52,000 baht + 250,000 baht from JCD 2005)
Our special scholarship provision program for children and young adults is aimed at allowing them to continue their education at all levels including college. Currently, we are sponsoring Em who is studying to become an engineer at a technical college outside Bangkok, and is due to graduate this year. We also continue to assist 12 orphans from Hua Koon Jae Boarding School in Ban Bung.

The Fountain of Life Center for Children in North Pattaya: (3,208,788.33 baht)
We continue to cover the majority of the operational expenses for our target charity which provides documentation, education, scholarships, medical and dental treatment and care for slum kids from broken families.

Helping Hands School Lunch program in South: (86, 400 baht):
We have maintained and expanded our lunch program at Sangka Ou School and Wat Samithitham on Koh Lanta, and also on Phi Phi Island

Sriphong Khaoluan Foundation in Krabi: (30,960 baht + 169, 040 baht
from JCD 2005)
In a joint venture with Unilever we provided Eckalot, a 10 year old tsunami orphan from Koh Phi Phi, with a 5-year scholarship to continue his education.  He is now in his second year.

Khopai Kindergarten : (84,000 baht)
We provided funds for staff and development of this project in this local slum area.

Khao Baisri School near Sattahip: (22,000 baht)
This school for autistic and mentally impaired children continually needs funding, primarily in the area of building renovation

Young Pattaya PR Ambassadors (24, 580 baht):
We lent support to this program in conjunction with City Hall and Pattaya Mail to seek out exceptional and talented government school students and provide them with training and background for becoming ‘ambassadors’ for the promotion of tourism in the region. 

Event shirt donations: (73,725 baht)
Shirts were donated to kids at Ban Jing Jai, Mercy Mission and the Fountain of Life.

Pattaya Drop In Center: (35,000 baht)
Is a NEW beneficiary this year and a small contribution was made to get them started with us.

TOTAL DISTRIBUTED TO DATE (24-05-2007): 5,844,483.33 (96.7%)

For our Jesters ‘Care for Kids’ Charity Drive 2007, we will maintain support for our present beneficiaries mentioned above, as well as continuing  to look for new projects.

The reason we are unable to reach 100% of funds raised to be distributed is due to:

• The value of donations made in kind (essential goods & services we require to promote and run this fundraising program that are donated by our sponsors) are counted the same as that of cash donors when we report our totals.
• Printing costs went over budget and there was also nominal expenses incurred to maintain this website.
• Uncollected funds: 24, 000 baht still remains uncollected from our auction.

This year our annual family outing, the Jesters Children’s Fair, will be on Sunday, September 9th, while our Jesters Pub Night will be on the following Saturday, September 15th.
