The Father Ray Foundation commemorated the ninth
anniversary of its founder’s passing with a “Magical Land, Build the
Disabled’s Dream” festival at the Redemptorist Vocational School.
Wittaya Kunplome, Chonburi
PAO president, praises the Redemptorist Vocational School for making the
world a better place.
The Aug. 18 fair featured booths selling food and
products made by disabled students, as well as health and beauty services
from sponsors. The YWCA Bangkok-Pattaya Center and Laser Engineer Co.
offered tattoo removal; Advanced Life Laboratory offered health checks; Land
of Smiles Clinic offered dental checkups and the Chonburi Red Cross took
25,800cc in blood donations.
“This event is to commemorate Fr. Raymond Brennan who, as
we know, was a great benefactor to the lives of the disabled as he dedicated
his life to them to make this a magical land for them,” said Chonburi
Provincial Administrative Organization President Wittaya Kunplome.
Fr. Brennan, Wittaya added, brought fame to the disabled
participating in social activities and sports, with the Vocational School
fielding numerous national and international athletes.
“In the name of the Chonburi PAO, I want to praise the
Redemptorist Vocational School for building another side of society and
making it a better place,” Wittaya concluded.
Udomchok Churat, director of
Pattaya Redemptorist Vocational School, addresses the event.
Booths were set up to sell
products hand-made by the disabled people at the foundation.
It takes great concentration
to fix electrical appliances.
People confined to a
wheelchair can be important members of society with their abilities to fix
things.
Many people at the event
donate blood for charity.
