Pattaya Japanese Association supports donations from Japanese society to kids in need in Pattaya

The following is a press release from the PJA (Pattaya Japanese Association). Their statements and opinions are their own. 

Donations from Japan and Japanese society in Thailand to kids at foundations in Pattaya are continuing during the current Covid-19 crisis that has seen many local charities struggle for donations and support due to a lack of tourists, both domestic and international.

In Japan, the Japanese people have a traditional custom to present secondhand clothes, shoes, and needed items from elder brothers or sisters to younger brothers and sisters also called ”Osagari”. Therefore, many Japanese families have recently donated to kids in need at foundations in Pattaya. 

First, for more information about previous PJA and Japanese donations in Pattaya, please check our prior articles below, in Thai:

From July to August, the Saha Tokyu corporation that develops real-estate such as the “HarmoniQ residence Siracha” operated donations voluntarily from many Japanese families to kids in Pattaya, and they donated secondhand bicycles, kids clothes, shoes, toys, stationaries, and more.

All of these donations were delivered to the Father Ray Foundation, Human Help Network, and the Pattaya orphanage in Pattaya by volunteer staff at PJA(Pattaya Japanese Association).
