The annual Jesters MC Children’s Fair and Family Day will be held on Saturday 16th September in the grounds of the Amari Orchid Resort in Pattaya. This fun event is a major part of the fund raising project run by the Jesters in support of the Fountain of Life, one of the most deserving and constructive charities in the resort city.

The tug-o-war was an event to remember!

Last year, the Jesters managed to raise over 1 million baht to assist the Good Shepherd Sisters of Thailand run the Fountain of Life Day Center for underprivileged children in Pattaya. These children, aged between 3 and 15 years of age are the casualties of life in our society. They are unable to attend school, many having no identification papers or a family so poor that education is beyond their meagre resources. Some children have no family and others have never known what it is like to have a real home.

Each weekday, the staff collects up to 200 children from around the city and takes them to the center where they receive a good basic education and a square meal, possibly their only meal of the day.

Last year the Clown was one of the favorite attractions with the children

Last year, it was decided by the organising committee that to help kids, they should involve kids. From that concept, the Children’s Fair and Family Day became one of the linchpins of the “Care 4 Kids Charity Drive”.

As in last year, the Chonburi Siam Steel Mills Services have come forward again as the Platinum sponsor to back the organisation of this charity fair. And what a Fair is promised! From bouncy castles, art contests, clowns, balloons, raffles with children’s prizes, puppet shows, tug-o-war, fun children’s activities, live music and even beer tents for Dad - this is Pattaya’s Family Fun Day - helping those less fortunate families with needy children.

If you are unable to attend on the 16th of September, donations can be made out to the Fountain of Life Center (Care 4 Kids). More information can be obtained from Paul Baker (038) 768 400 ext 159, email [email protected], Kim Fletcher (038) 710 643 or Woody on 01 344 4680, email [email protected].
