Although “sponsorship” of a child through the Pattaya Street Kids Support Project normally only involves  a nominalyearly payment of tuition – something satisfying enough on its own – there is a somewhat hidden benefit to being involved, and that is the gift of being able to actually MEET your students; something that is often the highlight of my visits to Thailand.  The Project’s “people on the ground” in Pattaya at Mercy Center do their best to accommodate sponsor visits, and it’s something I am very grateful for.

Today was my fourth visit with Tanakorn, one of the students sponsored by my family. Although he’s always been pleasant, polite and personable it’s been somewhat of a challenge to get Nuk (pronounced like the first syllable of “nuclear”) to smile much, but all that was to change this time.

Coming out of the larger building behind the raised “gazebo-type” covered area in his neatly pressed Boy Scout uniform, he spotted me inside the van as he approached and suddenly just burst into a big smile, the likes of which I don’t ever remember seeing before. It certainly made me feel like a million dollars, I’ll tell you.  He did the traditional respectful “wai” gesture for me, Liz and the others, naturally, and then clambered into the van.

He continued to do the shy, dipping of the head gesture he often does in uncertain situations, but he was genuinely a happy guy.  Liz leaned over to me and said she figures he’s met me often enough to understand that I’m actually going to be sticking around, which helps him be more comfortable with me.

As is usually my privilege when visiting the students the school and Nuk’s guardians (in this case his parents) allow a supervised lunch and shopping trip each visit, giving them a treat they never seem to expect but always appreciate, sometimes with an overwhelmed wide-eyed wonder the first few times.  It’s never been something they’ve ever taken for granted, and you can’t buy the happy feeling you get seeing a kid pushing a shopping cart full of basic food items out of a store with a look of satisfied pride, knowing they’re helping put food on the family table.  I can’t properly describe it so I won’t try further, but it’s something I heartily recommend trying yourself, if at all possible.

Liz was a bit apprehensive when we arrived at Nuk’s school because TWO women came out with him instead of one, but it turned out one of them only wanted a ride to the outlet store area where we were to go shopping. We’d arrived at 11:15, about 15 minutes late for his pick-up at the school and had to have him back by 1pm, so Sam asked him where he wanted to go eat, he told us, and off we went.  Chit-chat is always somewhat of a challenge via interpreter, but Sam did his usual admirable job and Nuk was bright and responsive while I peppered him with questions about his studies, his family, his current hobbies and the likes.

The woman who came along from the school to supervise was pleasant enough, but she did somewhat corral Nukaround, taking him by the hand and leading him along, putting a hand on his back and sort of pushing him, rather like one would with a five year old.  “He’s about a decade too old for that,” I thought to myself (Nuk is 15) but I kept my big mouth shut, other than to make that comment to Liz, who heartily agreed.

After we’d ordered our food I showed Nuk the bag of things I had brought for him: a 25-piece set of pens, mechanical pencils, erasers and hi-liters for school, a bag of chocolates and  treats from home, a “Billabong” T-shirt that just  MIGHT fit him in a couple of years, a few other things and a (belated) birthday card that played the “Star Wars” theme when you opened it.  Having never seen such a thing the card actually made him jump when it started, but that amused ME, if not him.

Trying to stay on schedule we went to the nearby sporting goods outlet store immediately after we’d finished eating, and Nuk made a bee-line for one of the walls of athletic shoes; NOT the big name brands, but one of the far lower-priced lines.  They didn’t have any that he liked in his size, and he looked a little disappointed and bewildered as the salesperson led him over to the Nike/Adidas area.  He was again shy about picking out a pair he liked because he knew they were more expensive, but he did ask about one specific shoe, and the salesperson went off to check for his size. His face lit up when he saw the salesperson emerging from the storeroom with the box. That first pair fit him perfectly, and he just beamed.  He looked up at me for approval from the bench where he’d sat to put them on, and when I gave him the “thumbs up” and said “Good job!” he grinned again.

He plays goalie for a team organized by some of his friends, so new they haven’t even named it yet.  They don’t belong to an actual league but play other local teams, more in hopes someone scouting from a “real” team will see their playing skills and perhaps give them an opportunity to play with them.  He allowed that he didn’t have shin guards, so of course those were added to the batch, along with a couple pair of knee high socks.

Now we were really running short on time, so it was a community effort inside of Tesco-Lotus (a large warehouse-type shopping center, somewhat like WalMart in the US), with all of us helping put food staples into the cart as we made an abbreviated shopping stop, picking up about 30Kg of rice, six boxed bundles of instant noodles, six bottles of cooking oil, seven or eight cans of  sardines in tomato sauce, three bottles of fish sauce, two bags of laundry powder, a large container of that “3-in-1″ instant coffee mix popular with some Thai, a small quantity of ground pork and chicken for cooking over the next day or two and a few other things that don’t come to mind now and the receipt’s in Thai, so no help, either!  We hustled the supplies out to the van and headed back to Nuk’s school.

When we were standing next to the van saying our goodbyes Nuk and I shook hands, but the woman gently scolded him, pushing him over to me to “make” him hug me. “Go hug the big sweaty farang (Westerner) , Tanakorn!” is what her command in Thai sounded like to me, and Nuk obeyed, but the poor kid looked up at me  right afterwards with a “this wasn’t MY idea” look and he blushed in embarrassment. A couple of his school friends could be heard commenting
about it within his earshot, which only deepened the pink in his cheeks.

“That is SUCH un-Thai behavior,” Liz said, and I had to agree.  As we turned to drive away from the school you could see Nuk walking back to class, his hand still being held by the woman.  As he turned to look back and wave he was still smiling.

Later that afternoon I had the new experience of going along to deliver our shopping bounty to his home – something I didn’t expect, but was most grateful to do.  The area around the “neighborhood” – really just a cluster of humble dwellings – is unpaved and I have no idea who it may belong to.  There’s a large, divided concrete road flyover nearly completion within 50 yards of their front door – something that can’t help but be noisy when it opens, I would think.

Despite Boonying’s care while driving in, the Mercy van rocked and lurched as we moved along what passed for aroadway under the unfinished flyover; the water from the previous night’s rain having turned the clay to a slick mud that parted under the van’s weight as we moved along, leaving deep ruts behind us in the wetter areas where water still stood.  The ground appeared dry in many areas, but there were also puddles and what looked to be small ponds of
earth-colored water around the area where the few simple dwellings were clumped together.

“There he is,” said Liz, motioning ahead, where a motor scooter was stopping in front of his family’s home; more than a lean-to, but less than a house.  Nuk, still in his neatly ironed Scout uniform hopped off the back of the scooter and went inside, emerging with his  mother as we pulled up in front of the house.  His father sat shirtless in long denim pants and rubber slippers on the traditional raised platform outside the front door, giving us a broad, welcoming smile  as we clambered carefully out of the van, avoiding puddles and mud. Nuk, his mother and younger brother Pavit all stood at the rear of the van as Boonying opened the back door and began handing them the plastic  bags of groceries from Tesco-Lotus.  Although they didn’t really want me to I finally managed to take a couple myself and help carry them inside, allowing me my first glimpse into their one-room home.

It was as cluttered as my own home and felt comfortable, if basic.  The heavy rains the previous night had caused more of a mess than usual, the water’s path possibly altered by the construction so close nearby and they’d had water actually coming through the house.  The tiled area where we were had been cleaned up, but under the raised “living” area and bedroom you could see water standing, waiting for mosquitoes to set up household.  There was a semi-enclosed room with a door ajar that I pointed to and pantomimed to Nuk “Is this where you sleep?” He smiled and nodded “yes,” and I again gestured to indicate a netted tent and said “I’m glad you have mosquito nets!” to which he nodded his head, soberly.

I took my camera out and we took a few family group shots after loading the groceries in, but didn’t have more than a very few minutes to visit as our travel van was on a schedule, so we said our goodbyes for this visit and I told Nuk I’d see him again in February if my plans to come there came to pass.  He nodded his head and again smiled when this was translated for him, giving me a final “wai” of thanks.

Overall, it was a magnificent visit, and well worth the wait to finally see him so at ease – and so happy.

Mother: Pin Pewchansod age: 41

Father: Teir Reabrengdee age: 40

Daughter: “Tao” age: 10

Daughter: Pathomporn Pew Chansod (Jiang) age: 7

Pin and Teir are a couple from Surin. They lived in Bangkok until 5 years ago, when they relocated to Pattaya. They used to be in the military, but were discharged due to poor vision.

Pin is unable to read or write and is painfully shy. She is also colour-blind. Their older daughter lives in Sattahip with an old family friend and attends a local school.

When first observed in the Chumchon, it was clear that Mum needed help to combat a serious eye infection, threatening blindness. MERCY took her to the hospital where the infection was successfully treated, her sight was saved and eye glasses subsequently recommended for both husband and wife. These were supplied by Euro Optics free of charge.

Take Care Director Giorgio with Mom and daughter Jiang.

City Hall employees have offered assistance to clear medical documentation problems.

MERCY is extremely fortunate to have as a partner in this case, TAKE CARE KIDS, who generously supplied B 5,000. to assist with medical fees and gave their time to assist as necessary.

Jiang, having been diagnosed with Downs Syndrome but assessed as potentially educable, was taken for interview by MERCY to Maha Thai, to see if she was eligible for their programme. She was accepted for registration with them and was due to begin morning classes in May. However, before this can happen she is required to have a hearing and vision test. Having had the sight test at Sri Racha Hospital, she is now waiting for an appointment at Chonburi Hospital, where the hearing test will be done.

Well done Lhen, MERCY Chumchon’s great hearted leader.

Fred & Dianne Doell

International Directors

All too often we foreigners in Thailand live ‘the bubble existence’, existing on the periphery, barely scratching the surface. As a result, we often get an extremely distorted view of the reality of life for many in this so-called ‘Fun City’. Although many of us largely yearn for hedonistic delights, there are a significant number, mainly impoverished Thais, whose only experience is pain; not by choice, but through force of circumstance. 

The reality of Pattaya for many is one of disillusionment. Drawn to Pattaya as a means 

The Doells surrounded by their brood of children

of escaping an often dire existence in Esarn, for example, frequently, when these overly optimistic people arrive here, they rapidly learn opportunities are few, work is scarce and they often don’t have adequate ID and the other bureaucratic necessities to fit into the system, meaning they can’t even send their children to school. 

Frequently, they fall foul of the law, perhaps being picked up by the police for vagrancy or begging. Thailand, not being a welfare state as such, relies on the extended family network, or the temples to support its indigents. 

However, if the family is still back home and likewise destitute, or the wats are chronically short of funds and already overburdened, what are these unfortunates and especially their children to do? 

This is where the Mercy Center comes in. Pastors Fred and Dianne Doell, the international directors of the centre, are Canadian Christians who first came to Thailand 12 years ago, saw the grim reality for many of the impoverished Thais and responded from the heart. 

Pastors Dianne and Fred Doell with one of the Mercy Center’s happy children

They came first as missionaries, setting up a children’s home in Sri Racha, later moving to Pattaya in 2000 to establish the Victory Church, and the Mercy Center in 2003. Their mission is to help the needy, primarily through: 

- providing a refuge for neglected children, or those at risk, (currently 24); 
- visiting the ‘chumchon’ or slum areas to distribute food, clothing and other essentials;  - arranging frequent visits to prisons to provide fruit, water and medication;  - assisting underprivileged children via their scholarship programme, providing books, uniforms, transportation costs and lunches for those who would otherwise be deprived of an education; 
- a network of early learning and day-care centres in the impoverished areas; 
- single-parent support. 

The items mentioned above are merely the tip of the iceberg, considering all the ways the Mercy Center provides outreach assistance to the underprivileged, impoverished and dispossessed. The above are the micro-concerns, the macro-concerns that the Mercy Center has also made significant contributions to include the victims of the Burmese cyclone, the Tsunami and Chinese earthquakes, as well as the Burmese/Hill Tribe refugees. 

Of crucial importance, however, is that these humanitarian works are essentially 

Pastor Dianne got a helping hand from Ms Elizabeth Sheperd

conducted by a relatively small group of dedicated volunteers and the centre is entirely dependent on donations and the goodwill and generosity of those aware of the plight of many in the community and who are willing to donate money, time and effort. Although help is extended to the Mercy Center by organisations like the Jesters, the Rotary Club of Pattaya, World Vision, the PILC, Pattaya Expats Club and the Yacht Club, considerably more help in terms of donations and voluntary assistance is urgently needed. This article is essentially a cry from the heart, to broadcast and publicise the sterling work being done by the centre and to call for help in whatever way possible from the international community in Pattaya, so as to make a positive contribution to the welfare of the truly needy in this city.

On Sunday 1^st February, La Dolce Vita opened its doors for the first time ever charity opera night.  The restaurant has been open less than month but its reputation for great food and opera is quickly spreading.  Opera lovers put their best dresses and headed to Soi 18 Naklua to enjoy staged scenes of ‘The Marriage of Figaro’ by W.A.Mozart performed by Nuni Productions from Bangkok who have already made a few appearances at La Dolce Vita.  The scenes were performed in between courses, of a delicious three course dinner allowing guests to enjoy both opera and food without any disturbance.  Chef Paolo Nota was the inspiration behind the evening and donated a door prize voucher allowing one lucky guest to come back and dine at the restaurant once again.  There were many raffle prizes to be won with Angela Poustie winning the major prize of a Burmese Jade ring with a sapphire.  All proceeds from the evening will be used for the various projects undertaken by the Mercy Center.  The evening was truly filled with all the flavours of Italy.

On Thursday afternoon six students from Mowbray College, Melbourne, Australia visited the Mercy Center.  The Mowbray students are on an exchange visit based at The Regent’s School, Pattaya for 3 weeks.

The Mowbray students and their teacher brought with them 4 large bags of toys that had been collected by families at Mowbray College and donated to the Mercy Center.

The Mercy Center children were thrilled and overjoyed to receive so many toys.  Their eyes lit up and the faces beamed as they saw the toys and began to play with them.  The Mowbray students stayed for an hour playing with the children in the garden until it was time for tea.

It was a wonderful surprise for the Mercy Center children and we want to thank the Mowbray students for their generosity. They really showed the children that they cared for them – there were lots of hugs and kisses as they left!

August 10, 1993 – March 27th 2008

Namphon suffered from leukemia for the past 10 years, having some times of remission, but also four relapses. Ongoing treatment, plus chemotherapy and radiation were not able to bring healing, and she finally left this earth for her heavenly home on Thursday March 27th at approximately 11:40 am. In answer to Namphon’s prayer, her mother was with her for the past week in her hospital room at Chonburi, then Banglamung. Her father also stayed with them both for the last 2 days … family at last.

Namphon is loved by more people than we can count, but by no one more than God Himself, and so with gratitude to Him for her life among us, we commit her to His loving care for eternity.

We want to thank all those who through their kindness and generosity have helped Namphon and so many others like her have a better life. It continues to be our greatest joy to be part of a community that is so caring and works in so many ways to help bring hope to those in need, particularly the children.

With love & thanks … Fred & Dianne Doell (for MERCY Center)

SPECIAL MEMORIAL PROJECTS:

At her doctor’s request, Namphon had written a very special letter just 3 weeks before her passing. With love, humility and wisdom, she wrote about her life, especially her desire to be with her ‘family’, who separated when she was small. (See excerpts below) We thank God that her Mom + Dad were able to be with her in her final days.

Namphon wrote that when she ‘grew up’, she wanted to be a doctor to care for other children with leukemia. In her wisdom, she also wrote that if she was not able to … then she wanted her young brother Beer to have the opportunity. Those who’d like to be a part of helping Namphon’s dream for her brother’s future come true, are invited to make a special offering through MERCY Center to be kept in trust for Beer’s future education, whatever is most suitable for him at that time. (Namphon with Beer Jan.2008)

Those who visited Namphon in Chonburi hospital feel that for those children especially who spend considerable time here as Namphon did; it could use some ‘cheering up’ in terms of new and colorful bedding, curtains, pictures, etc. When we visited the hospital to thank them for their care of Namphon and discuss our desire to help, they showed us a wonderful new children’s wing of the Chonburi Hospital.

The building was completed with funds raised through a local Thai foundation, but the equipping and furnishing was not complete, and they had no idea where the necessary equipment & furnishing would come from. We have asked them to furnish us with a list of things needed for MERCY to use to help raise support for a special memorial project., as well as a list of those organizations already committed to help them, so we are not duplicating efforts.

Those who would like to contribute toward either memorial project may make a special designation may do so by contacting or visting through MERCY Center in person, or use on-line giving at our MERCY web site at: www.mercypattaya.com.

NAMPHON’S LETTERS

My name’s Piyapat Malarat. Nick name Namfon, age 14 years. I got leukemia since I was 3 years old and since I stayed with my mother. My mother & father fought with each other since I was little girl. I got to stay with two mothers in Pattaya. I sold groceries with two mothers. There’s one aunty took me to Soi Koh-Pai to live with my aunt. My mother goes out to work at night. One day my Mom met my foster father and I got one little brother name Beer. My Mom rent a house to live together with my brother, my Mom, foster Dad and me.

One day my Mom got pregnant but my foster father doesn’t care. He only cares about drinking alcohol. When he got drunk he hit my Mom. At that time my Mom was pregnant no one took her to hospital, even my foster Dad. He doesn’t pay any attention to my Mom. The neighbor took my Mom to Banglamung Hospital.

My Mom came home with my brother. Still my foster Dad doesn’t stop drinking. When he got drunk he hit my Mom and took my little brother away. My Mom took my brother back from him and said she will take my brother to aunt Kuen and let him stay with her. Anuty Kuen said she can not look after my brother. My aunt said took him to MERCY. I end up stay there as well. There are many others children in the orphanage. My dream and my brother is that I want to stay with my Mom. I miss my Mom. That the end … That’s my feeling.

Now I am very happy to stay at the children’s home. There are many other children. I would like to be with those children because they smile when I play with them. I feel like many people concern about me and love me. I am happy to know that many people love me. I think if not these people in the house they will not concern for me because I am not their daughter. Some time I think about my Mom and my Dad.

We used to be all together and it wonderful. I am very happy at that time because living together mother, father and daughter are my dream. I wanted to as a family. I wanted to feel the warm the father and mother give to me and my brother. Even though I didn’t get to be with my Mom and Dad, I still happy with many people love me. … It’s my dream

I know that I got leukemia but many people concern about me. I am very happy reaching today with many other people support. I don’t care about leukemia I will fight with it. I will look after my brother well. My Mom told me to love my brother, don’t leave him be strong to look after him. I wanted to meet my mother very much. I will be very happy if I go to meet her. I haven’t seen my mother for so long. I love and miss her a lot. From Namfon … Bye, Bye

MY DREAM

I have never travel farther than Pattaya and most of the place that I visit is the sea. I am very happy when JoJo took me to Bangkok. I have a chance to see many nice things but stuff at Bangkok is too expensive. Mr. JoJo bought me an earring it’s 500 Baht a pair. I have never bought stuff that this expensive before. At the other place I know the pair of earring is not expensive like in Bangkok. If I don’t know Mr. JoJo I would not have been in Bangkok.

I very want to thank you to Mr. JoJo that took me to Bangkok. I wanted to visit the place that I have never been. Is there anybody would like to take me there. I want to visit faraway place. I live in the shelter and in the morning I went to school and in the evening I came home and help look after the little children and sometime I help cook for children. Sometime on Saturday we went to Nang-Rum beach and enjoy food at the restaurant.

On Sunday we went to Church and sing Jesus song. I have love for everyone and gain love from everyone as well even though I didn’t stay with my mother. Lot’s of people concern about me, look after me. I know that there are many other children who had face bad situation than me and poorer than me. I am happy to be at the shelter. I miss my Mom, so many years now that I haven’t met her. I will be good child to you. Sometime I wanted to meet my father too but when I was a little girl you didn’t even visit me. It would be good If I got heal from leukemia. My Mom and Dad might be very happy. If I got better I would like to be a doctor or have my own shop so we could stay together as a family. I wanted to be happy.

When I grow up I want to be a doctor like Doctor East so I could heal my self and heal my mother, my brother and other people when they are sick. I wanted to be good doctor like Dortor East and Doctor Jeadsadha who look after me many times they are both very good. I wanted to be good doctor so I can heal my leukemia. If I got better I wanted to stay with my mother and brother. I wanted my brother to be smart at school so that when he graduated he can get a job like my dream that I wanted to be a doctor. I don’t know what Beer wanted to study or to be or what he dream.

I want him to get a good job so my Mom can be proud of him. I wanted my Mom to be happy and be healthy. I wanted my Mom to met Beer when he grown up. I wanted to see my Mom smile. I think My Mom will be proud if she saw Beer when he grown up. I and Beer miss Mom a lot just like you miss me and Beer. I and Beer are doing find. I would like to take my brother and my mother to visit the place that I have never been. Place that beautiful. I wanted to live with my Mom and my brother. I wanted who every got cancer got healed or any other disease get heal soon.

Good bye to Doctor East and Doctor Jeadsadha. … from Namphon

Special notes:

” The ‘orphanage’ referred to is MERCY Center – Children’s Home in Pattaya

” JoJo is Georgio, from Take Care Kids Foundation (Italy), who has been helping poor children in Pattaya for 14 yrs., and who was introduced to MERCY + Namphon through Khun Jubjaeng at Pattaya City Welfare Department.

” The trip to Bangkok was appointment with pediatric hematologist for referral to International Red Cross to begin procedure for bone marrow transplant donor search, with all costs paid for by Take Care Kids.

Although donors were found, the procedure became impossible because of Namphon’s last relapse which reduced success and even possible survival to less than 10%.

Our vision is this: that each of our children would
1) know their birthday
2) feel loved and celebrated
3) get to share that with their friends.

In order to give our kids an adequate individual birthday celebration, we have to find sponsors. 1500 baht (40 dollars, 20 pounds) would provide ample resources to buy a cake for 30 people, a small present for the child, soda, and sweets. Any money left over will be deposited into that child’s savings account.

We really appreciate your willingness and your desire to help us love these kids better!

Deposits can be made into the “birthday fund” via PayPal. Designate that you do indeed intend that money to go towards birthdays. We would also love to have your email address so that we can send you a thank you as well as pictures from the birthday celebration that you made possible.

Thank you so much.
