SOS Rice Campaign deemed huge success
The SOS Rice Campaign for 1999 enjoyed its greatest success to date. 10,862 kg of rice worth 206,988 baht was donated by benevolent citizens at department stores and public places all over town.
On Sunday December 19th, the organizers of the 1999 SOS Rice Campaign presented the rice to the various recipients, which took place at the Pattaya Orphanage. Father Raymond Brennan and Father Michael Picharn presided over the handing-over ceremony, in the presence of many leaders of charity organizations, the organizing committee and the heads of the various departments of the receiving centers.
Deserving recipients of the SOS Rice Campaign тАЩ99 gather to say thanks.
The many people gathered at the presentation ceremony were treated to a film made by Gary Bruton showing highlights of the Rice Campaign 99. Emcee John Boysen then introduced Fr. Brennan, Fr. Michael and Pattaya Sports Club Golf Chairman Mike Franklin, all of whom gave speeches about the importance of the yearly project.
The audience was also treated to a dance performance by the orphanageтАЩs children, all with futuristically painted faces, who performed a modern dance called тАШNoom SevenтАЩ.

The SOS Rice appeal has been going for many years, giving rice (and money specifically for rice) to a number of organizations in Chonburi province, varying from orphanages to old people's homes. The recipient organizations vary slightly from year to year, but usually those collecting hold an up to date list.
The charity was started by a Belgian editor of Echo du Siam (L' Echo), a local French language periodical similar to the many "expat" magazines still produced for Pattaya; I am guessing it is now defunct, as I cannot remember when I last saw a copy.

It is not a first for us to ask for help- for SOS Rice appeal.
We have done it before at pastures old, it was a great success, and generally benefits the less well off Orphanages and schools who do not know how to use the internet or are not widely recognized or known, but very much in need..
We would like to help in goods as opposed to cash, as I and many others, have done with Baan Jaing Jai.
