The Proceeds

The proceeds of this years extravaganza will be donated to the Mercy Children's Center in Pattaya, which is run by Fred and Dianne Doell. The Mercy Center is an authorised charity project of the Goodwill Foundation, which is registered in Thailand.

In January, 2006, the centre was fortunate enough to find a property which has proven to be perfect for carrying on the good work of Mercy. The facility provides a large home for over 20 children that Mercy Center presently cares for. It also has enough room for many more to come. Since the children's centre opened, it has protected and provided for over 50 of the city's most desperate children in need.

The property also contains a large factory building that is being renovated to house the many other projects that operate under the umbrella of the Mercy Center.

The centre now has the possibility of purchasing this property, that will, hopefully, provide accommodation for a further 20 children. However, in order to do so, it must raise the sum of 2.000.000 Baht for the required deposit, before the end of January, 2008.
