Ban Jing Jai (House of Sincere Heart), an orphanage for 54 children and young adults between the ages of 3 and 18 years located on a small cul-de-sac off Nern Plub Wan Road in Nong Prue. This organization is run by Khun Piangta along with her small staff, who provide assistance, shelter, counseling, care, and the opportunity for the children to get an education.

Khun Piangta started Ban Jing Jai back in 1992 in cooperation with the Pattaya International Church in South Pattaya near Pattaya 3 Road. They were there for 3 years before moving to a house on the south side of Jomtien off Soi Chaiyapruk, where they resided for the next 5 years.

In 1998, they moved to their current location with just over 20 children. Today their numbers have burgeoned to 54 resident children, 30 girls, and 24 boys. All of them save for the youngest go to one of eight schools, which include Nern Plub Wan School, Wat Sudtanas School, Wat Nong Prue school in Maprachan, Pattaya #5 School on Sukhumvit in Central Pattaya, BEST school, Aksorn School near Rung Land, Aksorn Institute of Technology on Tepprasit Road, and Thai Ito College on Nern Plub Wan Road. (Note: some of these children have personal sponsors who provide scholarships for them.)

Though we refer to Ban Jing Jai as an orphanage in fact only 10 kids are actually orphans, mostly due to their parents dying of AIDS. The others are there because their parents have been jailed, usually for dealing drugs, or because their parents have separated, and, the children are no longer wanted. Still some are street kids that have been picked up and taken in, while others are dropped off by single parents, who no longer have the means to take care of them.

Hope I will see a lot of you there
