Orphanage

[americandragonslayer]

I would like to find a local orphanage, and start helping out. I think that I might be able to get about 20people to help. The only problem i I not sure were one is that could use or help. Can anyone help me please?

I've heard about two in the area, but haven't been to either so I can't tell you exactly where they are located. One is called Mercy House and it's actually in Pranburi somewhere. The other is Paentawang Orphanage located somewhere in Northwest Hua Hin. Sorry I don't have details but with the names maybe some Thai people can tell you where they are exactly.

Here's another organization you could contact:

I hope you've got your Police records from the States if you want to start doing this sort of stuff, for the Childrens sakes.

I like to recommend the Thailand Kinder Hilfe e.V. from Germany.

This is a charity how like to build a new Children’s-Home in Hua Hin.

Charity is a good thing but if you are going to actually be doing anything then you will need a work permit.

Ok lots of people help out without one but techinically you should have one as should the other 20 helpers.

and make sure you are wearing your seat belts on the way over.

I ran accross one I'd personally like to recommend that has helped 100's of orphaned children in Buri Ram. It's called Tree of Life Christian Orphanage.....check it out on you tube

I am not very good in geography but I believe the province of Buri Ram is quite far from the city of Hua Hin in Prachuap Khiri Khan province. I got the impression that the OP specified Hua Hin because he would like to visit the orphanage he plans to sponsor and talk to the people in charge of it.
