The Thai Garden Resort played host to 22 orphans and
guardians from Bangsaen’s Abundant Life Home orphanage, giving children a
weekend filled with fun and great food.
Orphanage director Karen Sanchez organized the May 22
trip with support of hotel owners Gerrit and Anselma Niehaus, who welcomed
the children with gifts upon arrival.
It didn’t take long for the kids to spot the Thai
Garden’s huge swimming pool, however, and they were splashing around in no
time.
The children also had their pick of the menu for
breakfast, lunch and dinner and their broad smiles showed how much they
enjoyed the delicacies on offer.
The resort weekend was also great for the guardians, who
got a pampered weekend away from the orphanage.
The Abundant Life crew showed their appreciation for the
weekend on Sunday, giving General Manager Rene Pisters and Manager Danilo
Becker gifts. Smiles were mixed with tears as the kids had to leave their
Pattaya paradise, but Thai Garden Resort officials assured them they’d be
back next year.
Acting
like grownups, the children enjoy the pool restaurant.
Before
departing there had to be a group picture taken.
