"Thailand's Future in Colour"
by Pattaya's Under-Privileged Children

Gallery Opium is hosting a special Pattaya International Ladies Club charity event, an Exhibition of Childrens’ Art. The artwork has been created by under-privileged children from five different schools and children’s homes in the Pattaya area, namely Ban Jing Jai Street Kids Home, Fountain of Life, Mercy Centre, Wat Nong Kei Noi School and the Drop in Centre.

The children have been working hard towards this event, and there are four categories; under 6 years, 6 to 9 years, 10 to 13 years, and 14 -17 years. Prizes will be awarded for first and second in each category and the winning children will receive prizes on the night.

PILC is delighted to announce that Khun Mechai Viravaidya, Founder and Chairman of the Population and Community Development Association (PDA), the largest NGO in Thailand, has agreed to open this special charity event. Also the founder of the Cabbages and Condoms restaurants and resorts, the profits from which are used to support development activities, Khun Mechai is a well known public figure who has worked for over 30 years to improve the quality of life for Thailand’s under-privileged. PILC is most grateful to Khun Mechai for his participation in this event.

After the official opening, members of the public will be invited to view the paintings, all of which will be for sale. The proceeds from all paintings sold will be given back to the respective school to help improve conditions or buy new equipment to benefit all the children. This is a wonderful way to make a donation to charity and the opportunity to own an exclusive piece of artwork produced by a very special child.
