We will be welcoming Sununta Khumnunta, Secretary, Baan Jing Jai Foundation, to tell us about their orphanage and children’s home here in Pattaya.  They house around 70 children from 9 months to 18 years of age and all the children.

It all began in 1992, when Khun Piangta Chumnoicame to Pattaya with a priest from Church of Christ, Thailand (Bangkok). They rented a small house to live in and use as a "drop-in" for street children. They sought out the many street children who hung around in Pattaya, those who tried to beg and/or sell themselves to tourists and those who had no parents or had escaped from violent homes. Khun Piangta took it upon herself to motivate these children for school and get away from the terrible environment they knew.
 
After two years, they moved into a larger house in Jomtien, where they began to host a few of these street children and where they also got them into the schools. In 1999 it had grown to 15 children and they looked a larger location. At this time, Khun Piangta took over as general manager and had two assistants with her at the new location. They continue to face big challenges to keep operating and are 100% dependent on voluntary donors/sponsors.
