Fr. Ray’s Village
Family History and General Information
Kaow came from a broken family. He lived with his mother in the rental room near the Mercy Center. His mother remarried but her spouse often hit Kaow. For the love for her son, she decided to separate with her spouse and looked after her son alone. She now sells Betagen cultured milk drinks and cup yoghurt products during the day and works in the Thai massage shop in North Pattaya at night. When she went to work at night, she placed Kaow into the care of her neighbour or sometimes locked him inside their room. As she loves her son, she wants him to receive the best education that is available for him, and therefore the possibility of a good future. She decided to ask the help of our representative at our Fr. Ray Outreach Work and Drop-In Center and she finally decided to place her son into the care of our Drop-In Center. At our Drop-In Center, Kaow appears to be a good boy who politely speaks to adult and loves peace. He enjoys playing with our residents and is courageous enough to ask for help from others. He lives with other residents with no problems, playing together, eating together, and working together. He had previously attended kindergarten and he is now enjoying the school holidays. Arrangements will be made for Kaow to continue on with his academic study when the next school year starts in May. Close observation is being maintained to ensure a smooth transition. (WS) April, 2010 Kaow will attend Year 1 in the primary level at Muang Pattaya 7 School when the new school year begins in May. His current ambition is to be a policeman. During the school holidays between March-May he joins in the English course at the North Star Library at 3-5 o’clock in the afternoon. A polite quiet boy, he enjoys playing alone and does not like to be annoyed. However, he bravely asks for help from the adults when he faces problems. He is assigned to cleaning the bedroom and washing the wishes. He dutifully performs his chores. (WS) May, 2010 Kaow was transferred from our Drop-In Center to our Father Ray’s Village, effective the 11th of May, 2010. He was welcomed as a member of the seventh home (the Angel Flower Home). There are now six children in his new family. These children all call their Caregiver “Mother”, who takes care of them under the “we are family” concept and gives them the family life that all children require and deserve. In the meantime, Kaow has gradually adjusted himself well to the new environment and the new people. He looks quiet and sensitive, but he is a good observer. He has started his first year in the primary level at the beginning of May. As with other children in our care, his development will be closely monitored by his “Mother”. (WS) |
