The YWCA Bangkok-Pattaya Center and Pattaya Business & Tourism Association donated cash and equipment to poor residents of Nongprue sub-district.
YWCA Chairwoman Praichit Jetapai and PBTA President Sinchai Wattanasartsathorn presented a 12,000 baht food-selling motorcycle and sidecar to Karnjana Muangpuag and a 9,800 baht sewing machine to the family of Pemika Sangsua as part of the YWCA’s “Making Dreams Come True” project.
After separating with her husband, Karnjana was living alone in a shack built on a piece of land that she rented for 3,000 baht a year until recently when it was pulled down after the land owners had sold out.
Pemika Sangsua’s mother is ecstatic to receive a sewing machine as part of the YWCA’s “Making Dreams Come True” project so she can earn an income at home whilst taking care of her disabled child.
She has no place to stay and is now living with a neighbor. Her sidecar motorcycle that she used for making a living had broken down due to deterioration. Therefore the organizations got her a new one so she can make a living.
Pemika is an 8-year-old girl with developmental problems. She is living with her parents who are doing general labor and have an unstable income. The two groups gave Pemika’s mother a sewing machine so that she could work at home and take care of her daughter.
In addition, Sinchai handed over 20,000 baht raised at the funeral of a former Pattaya mayor’s mother to the Stop Human Trafficking and Child Abuse Centre.
