The Child Protection Development Centre in Huay Yai has progressed so much in the last 3 years. With financial assistance coming from many organisations including Pattaya Sports Club, it has changed from a baron, uneven area of land, to what you might describe as a self contained village. Houses, dining room, computer centre, sports areas and more have been erected for the children.
Managed by the Human Help Network, it is home to 50 former street children who have been sexually and physically abused or abandoned on the streets of Pattaya. The Centre aims to provide the children with protection, education, security and prospects for the future. Toy, Ja and others work tirelessly to make sure this happens.
Before…
One simple problem arose: where do the children wash their clothes? As you can imagine with 50 children on site, there are bundles of clothes to wash each and every day. The area that was being used was not ideal – dangerous is the word that would describe it, as the electricity box was open to the elements and a little unsteady underfoot.
The answer was obvious: have a purpose built washing and drying area.
Pattaya Sports Club provided sufficient funds to build such a unit, next to 2 large water tanks and away from the hustle and bustle of everyday activities. You can see how a waste area has been transformed into something a little more suitable.
Now there are no excuses when clothes need cleaning.

Girls and boys have to do their own washing.
