Belgian businessman Didier Frere first organized the SOS Rice program in 1986. That first year, the campaign raised 30,000 baht, which was presented to Father Ray at the Pattaya Orphanage. The program has continued each year since, with the help of local businesses.
The project is now headed by Surat “Mike” Mekavarakul.
Rev. Michael said the project has benefitted the many children under the foundation’s care and said it has been successful thanks to the contributions of foreign residents of Pattaya. Those wishing to donate can contact 038-716-628.
