Hard Rock Hotel Pattaya’s Annual Christmas Light-Up And Silent Auctio

Hard Rock Hotel Pattaya will be holding its Annual Christmas Charity Light-Up on Friday, 2nd of December, 2005 at the Hall of Fame ballroom. The non-profit event aims to raise funds for the Camillian Child Care Center Rayong,

Now in its fourth year, the Christmas Charity Light-Up has always been fun-packed but very meaningful. The event is highlighted by the ceremonial lighting of Hard Rock Hotel Pattaya’s themed Christmas tree, which changes motif each year, pre-dinner cocktails with canap?s and a gala dinner at the Hall of Fame till 11 p.m. with unlimited beverages.

As in previous years, major government officials, dignitaries and VIPs of Pattaya and neighboring communities will be present on this special occasion to celebrate in the spirit of giving.

This year’s beneficiary is the Camillian Social Center which was built to provide shelter and care to the homeless, indigent, and rejected people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). Special emphasis was placed on children being the most vulnerable members of society.

Under the care and supervision of Father Giovanni Contarin, M.I., the Camillian Child Care Center Rayong houses and cares for 40 Thai children living with HIV/AIDS in an atmosphere that tries to replicate that of other healthy children. Thirty-six (36) of these Thai children are being treated with anti retroviral medication; the other 4 children are HIV negative but live with a parent that is living with HIV/AIDS.

These Thai children are provided with literacy classes so that as they grow up they will be able to get a formal educational qualification. Thirty (30) of them attend classes in local schools. They also participate in other activities and outings that are meant to broaden the children’s view of the world, develop positive attitudes towards life, and improve their physical, psychological and intellectual well being.
